Or they could just know the correct spelling of a common Arabic name.
post
Or their phone keyboard offered an autocorrection⦠Google have been doing that for years now.
autocorrect capitalizes names, the name in the post isn't capitalized
The could have auto capitalization turned off
So then it wasn't auto corrected...
Auto correct with autocapitalization turned off is a thing⦠I just tried it with my phone.
Lemme try. Miss Khalid
Nope, but that's 100% on me for swiping and sucking at it.
I feel you and I ought to fight crime together or something.
Tbf, you don't have to be a rainman of early 2010s porn to recognise poor transliteration arabic to english, but i'm sure it helps.
To be fair, if I swipe kalifa on my keyboard it autocorrects to Khalifa every time. There is no kalifa option other than the one I've just forced. If this person wasn't paying attention to the "h" it could've been accidental.
Or autocorrect or they read it and wrote it how it sounded to them without looking closely at spelling or many other possible reasons.
Ok but... who is Mia khalifa?
(I looked it up, I think it's former controversial porn actress, current internet personality)
They might be aware of the Burge Khalifa building
No, I've never heard of the Burj Khalifa.
Or the rapper Wiz Khalifa for that matter. The song played at the end of fast 7 when they sent Paul Walker away (See you again) has billions of views on YouTube. In fact it's up to 7 billion now.
Incidentally that was the movie in which they jumped out of Burj Khalifa in cars lol
They could've searched "Mia Kalifa" and found out the correct spelling. So it's not necessarily begging for attention.
Then why would they ask who it is?
Gil already thought about this is and is just commenting for attention
Who's Gilgamesh broπ?
What's "attention" and does it come in a caffeinated beverage form?
Or they just know how to spell common surnames. Or they listen to rap. And only actually knows her after those two.
your
I love when smug dickheads make 2nd grade grammar errors.
I'm a smug dickhead, but usually when I make that mistake, it's because swype doesn't know which "your" I meant, and I fail to catch the mis-swype. Same with "too/to". And, weirdly, "me/Mr". It's actually a pretty common occurrence, and it's a huge pain point.
Idk I just typed "kalifa" and had to fix autocorrect changing it to Khalifa. Or dude could be familiar with Arabic transliteration and the name but not the person.
Doesn't matter to me though. I'm distracted now that I'm thinking about Mia Khalifa.
