Predictive Text Can Be Dangerous
The First Text Message: 'Dear John, this is Alan next door. I am sorry, buddy, but I have a confession to make to you. I've been riddled with guilt these past few months and have been trying to pluck up the courage to tell you to your face, but I am at least now telling you in text as I can’t live with myself a moment longer without you knowing. The truth is, I have been sharing your wife, day and night, when you're not around. Probably more than you. I haven’t been getting it at home recently, but that's no excuse. The temptation was just too much. I can no longer live with the guilt and I hope you will accept my sincerest apologies and forgive me. I promise that it won't happen again. Please come up with a fee for usage, and I'll pay you. Regards, Alan.'
The Response: John, feeling insulted and betrayed, grabbed his gun, stomped next door and shot his neighbour dead. He returned home, poured himself a stiff drink, and went into the garden for some fresh air. He took out his phone, where he saw a subsequent message from his neighbour.
The Second Text Message: 'Hi John, This is Alan next door again. Sorry about the slight typo in my last text. I expect you worked it out anyway, but as I’m sure you noticed that my smartphone’s Autocorrect feature changed “Wi-Fi” to ˜Wife”. Technology hey??
Hope you saw the funny side of that. Regards, Alan.'
