Youâd assume if it was someone you didnât know and someone else did, that theyâd spell it right. So yeah, them correcting it means they looked it up or theyâre lying. Autocorrect isnât fixing that shit.
I just posted somewhere else, if I try to write kalifa (like I just did, I had to force the incorrect spelling) my phone automatically autocorrects to Khalifa.
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 Iâve just forced. If this person wasnât paying attention to the âhâ it couldâve been accidental.
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 itâs up to 7 billion now.
Incidentally that was the movie in which they jumped out of Burj Khalifa in cars lol
I had read previously (and just confirmed on Wikipedia) that Mia Khalifa (real name Sarah Joe Chamoun) got her stage name from her dog, Mia, and Wiz Khalifa.
So, familiarity with Wiz Khalifa is directly relevant to knowing how Mia Khalifaâs name is spelled.
Iâm a smug dickhead, but usually when I make that mistake, itâs because swype doesnât know which âyourâ I meant, and I fail to catch the mis-swype. Same with âtoo/toâ. And, weirdly, âme/Mrâ. Itâs actually a pretty common occurrence, and itâs a huge pain point.

Or they could just know the correct spelling of a common Arabic name.

Mine corrects it to Khalifa. What part of it being a common name is so difficult to understand?

Or their phone keyboard offered an autocorrection⌠Google have been doing that for years now.
So what youâre saying is google knows how to spell Mia Khalifaâs name. Does this mean they want my attention?
autocorrect capitalizes names, the name in the post isnât capitalized
The could have auto capitalization turned off
So then it wasnât auto correctedâŚ
Auto correct with autocapitalization turned off is a thing⌠I just tried it with my phone.
Lemme try. Miss Khalid
Nope, but thatâs 100% on me for swiping and sucking at it.
I feel you and I ought to fight crime together or something.
Tbf, you donât have to be a rainman of early 2010s porn to recognise poor transliteration arabic to english, but iâm sure it helps.

I hate modern Internet culture
Most awesome thing Iâve seen today edit: wait I hiked up a hill and looked at the city skyline today, nevermind
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 itâs former controversial porn actress, current internet personality)
They might be aware of the Burge Khalifa building
No, Iâve never heard of the Burj Khalifa.
Bravo both

They couldâve searched âMia Kalifaâ and found out the correct spelling. So itâs 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
Whoâs Gilgamesh brođ?
Notice how his name is spelled gilgame-t-h here, and you spelled it right; shows that you know of him and you are simply begging for attention.
Whatâs âattentionâ and does it come in a caffeinated beverage form?
Mine came with a deficit disorder
Notice how itâs spelt âatenttionâ here and you spelt it correct, showing you already have enough
Or they just know how to spell common surnames. Or they listen to rap. And only actually knows her after those two.
Goddammit, theyâre begging for attention!
I love when smug dickheads make 2nd grade grammar errors.
