After Sheila, the kindly, new department manager at The Home Depot in Rome, Georgia, helped me get a free replacement commode, I called The Home Depot’s toll-free telephone number to provide my positive feedback, but its answering machine was unable to route my call to either Starr, the kindly, helpful human I had spoken to yesterday at a different toll-free telephone number at The Home Depot, instead casting me into the automabyss, when I was unable to guess what the answering machine’s programmer had contrived and where my next keypad choice would take me during the six minutes of my life that I had lost, thanks to the power of The Home Depot.

Autocorrect Accent

When someone gets tired of fixing incorrectly autocorrected words in text messaging or social media and just goes with it because the audience they are trying to reach will figure out the gist of what you are saying. Considered an accent as most people under 60 understand what you meant, but older people don't and are confused by what you are trying to say.

John's Autocorrect accent was so strong yesterday his grandma flipped out at him on Facebook.

What did his post say?

"Anyone selling girl scout pussies?" We all knew he meant cookies. Poor grandma didn't.
