    I think you’re being a little reactionary, it’s more about offending someone by suggesting these things when they WEREN’T what they were actually trying to say. Autocorrecting to insults or swears could get someone in potentially serious trouble. It’s easy to imagine the viral facebook post “My iPhone got me fired!” Or even “iPhone is teaching my kids bad words!”

      My mothers iPhone autocorrected an inserted an N-bomb while she was texting a black friend of hers so it’s not like this is surprising to any of us.

      You cant have control of your own device, it could be a slight PR inconvenience for the company!

      You should be blaming the parents if you see posts like that. Literally no excuse for not watching your own child and making sure they know which words are okay and not okay, in your own house
