We use an older version of Outlook at work and it turns :) into ๐ but not the emoji but the Wingdings smiley which is the letter J when you use a different font. I only found out after months when somebody asked me why I put so many J's in my mails.
I don't remember asking you a god damn thing Outlook ๐คจ
holy crap, is that where all the Js come from?
If there's a bad decision that can be made, the Outlook development team made it. It's a real shame that the industry standard is a hot garbage fire of a program.
I've had to re-disable auto correct options multiple times in outlook. I'm perfectly fine capitalizing my own letters because sometimes I type code snippets in emails and don't want those being treated as if they are sentences that need grammar and spelling corrections. I don't need your fucking angled quotes either.
Red or green underlines to say you think there's a problem are ok. Changing what I'm typing without me telling you to is not.
Mac OS has autocorrect enabled by default on the entire operating system. Why TF would I want that when I'm typing with a full-sized physical keyboard? It's especially annoying when you're typing code. So yeah, I disabled all that crap within a couple of minutes. It's super annoying.
When i was about 10 i sent an email to my uncle that said "K cool ๐" with the wingding smile.
His client rendered it "K cool J" and he made fun of my "jive"
Never sent an email using multiple or nonstandard typefaces again. I guess it was a good lesson, but it's one of those hyper cringe core memories.
That's cure. You must have really liked that person :)
I guess I did J
...who thought that was a good idea
