could have happened on a canadian french qwerty keyboard: ! is shift-1, and " is shift-2
this could have happened on other layouts too, probably
German qwertz is the same in that regard
TIL QWERTZ
Wait till you see AZERTY (French) They need to use ZQSD for gaming lmao
It's great in mobas where skills are universally referred to by their default binding on qwerty (since most layouts have qwer on those keys). So sometimes unaware french people talk about their a and z skills and everyone else is just confused
Also in Dvorak “ is below !
As a Dvorak typist, I have done this.
Cyrillic too
It may have not been a typo in the sense they hit the wrong key attempting to type an exclamation point, but a Freudian slip of their mind while typing that caused them to type the quotation mark.
Like if you were to look at Venus and want to say "Venus is bright tonight" but instead say "My penis is pretty big." It's a really common mistake.
On a German keyboard, I think ! Is Shift-1 and " is Shift-2, but we measure in cm so the message wouldnt make sense
I chuckled :p
It works out for Dvorak.
UK keyboards have the " and the @ symbols reversed from the US layout.
And we mix and match our units of measurement.
So
milk = liters.
Beer = pints.
Distance = miles (if driving).
Distance = km if running or cycling.
Distance = inches if penis
Depends on the layout. My QWERTZ has ! on shift-4 and " on shift-2.
Lots of bilingual peeps have multiple layouts on hot-swap.
You don't k"ow that!

Could have been avoided by using metric.
Side note: if you say you're 6.5" long, it sounds like you care too much about that extra half inch. If you say you're 17cm, that's just how long you are.
You're welcome, penis owners.
I'm sorry, is this some sort of imperial joke I'm too metric to understand?
Yes. He's offering his 15 cm
Roughly the size of an average penis. Makes it seem like he just offered to give her the "D".
Which is a trip right to HR.
6seconds?
6 inches
Yes but only for 6 seconds
Mr Stamina
" also means seconds. 1h23m45s = 1h23’45”. Same for subdivisions of degrees, 12°34'56"N, which are actually also called minutes and seconds.
Not all at the same time, mind
Could have avoided "!" altogether, and send "For you I have 720"
I (mid 30s woman) am boss and I txtd one of my guys who isn't around very often (he works a different shift basically, sometimes we overlap, usually we don't)
"Hey 60 year old married man when you have a minute. Swing by my office, I've got something for you."
I had a company gift to give him.
Auto complete decided the lips emoji was the best ending to my TXT. You know, the sexy red kissy lips.
I NEVER use that emoji. I never use emojis, when I told this story to other workers who I TXT regularly they were like "you yeah write out jazz hands or *sparkle emoji"
But my phone knew what that innocent TXT needed. Awkward, potentially work relationship ruining lips.
This is why I just...hate touch screen keyboards. T9 never made that kind of editorial decision, and a physical QWERTY keyboard with no software correction running at all didn't either.
I think the problem is you hate autocorrect and not the keyboard itself. I don't have autocorrect on mine and it's fine

On my keyboard, those keys are pretty far apart
Different keyboard layouts. The big difference between UK and US layouts tends to be swapping the " and @ symbols, so on a UK keyboard the ! is shift+1 and the " is shift+2.
Maybe not on mobile keyboards? Giving the benefit of a doubt here.
Estonian layout for an example has " on 2 shift + 2 and @ is alt gr + 2. ! Remains on shift + 1
We don't use inches much at all though. But I'm sure there are other layouts with " on 2

Ask for 5' , get 6"
That makes more sense than 12 hours
6 arc seconds, not a very well rounded individual
At the equator, that's like 600 feet.
I used to have the habit of sending 'kk' instead of 'ok'. Boss was a black woman. One day she messaged me and in response I put one too many ks....so 'kkk'. I profusely apologized and she laughed it off but yeah, that was the end of me doing that, haha.
