  • Stutter charity calls out Apple for 'stammering' emoji gaffe

    I looked up ‘stammer’ in the apple dictionary and it actually says ‘stutter,’ but that’s not what I think of when I see the word. For me, stutter is a specific speech impediment/disorder while stammering makes me think of altered speech for other reasons.
    It is used to imply drunkenness. It also shows up if you type the word drunk in the emoji text box or the main text entry box. So it makes sense that the emoji got tied to stammer. Interestingly, it only shows up for stammer in the emoji search box, not the text entry box.
    iOS 14.7 here and it does show up in the suggestions in the text entry box when I use it in the Apple Notes app, iMessage app, etc. for the word stammering as mentioned in the article.  
    Hmm. Not for me on 14.6. In fact, with Notes or Mail I get no emoji suggestions. They only show up in the "search emoji" field.
    Have you verified that “Predictive is toggled ON. If not, toggle Predictive ON.”

    It is only a single data point, but about 11-12 days ago I ordered a MacBook Air 16gb/512gb/7gpu core version through the US education store for my son to use as a freshman in college this Fall.  At time of order it was reported as an estimated ship date, the middle of the first half of July.   We received it, from China, last Friday.  7-8 days after ordering.  The “free” AirPods from the back to school promo were scheduled to ship last Friday, but we had already received them earlier in the week (with engraving). 

    Not sure how much I trust this sort of data as a basis for estimations.  
    Just curious, why did you order the Intel version? School requirement?
    I think that is an M1 MacBook Air. The lowest version has a 7-core GPU.

    That's an old old article.  Google Stadia is out of beta... today https://forums.appleinsider.com/discussion/222250
    Harrumph. Doh! It just came up in my “social media” yesterday. I didn’t check the date. Silly me. 

    Anyway, it’s good to have competition. 😊
