Fun With Typos

[shadowind65]

I'm in an rp on discord involving two Stunticons chasing down a rogue Autobot (to start, it will move on to the rp proper once she's been apprehended, and it's been fun so far. I'm currently rp'ing Breakdown as well as my Autobot oc. I attempted to saying something about 'the Lamborghini Countach transformed' and the phone tried to autocorrect it to 'accountant'.

Now I'm having visuals of Breakdown looking adorable with a tie and a briefcase.

But now that I think about it, I wonder if his tendency towards malapropisms isn't just they all have an internal autocorrect and his is malfunctioning. I love Breaky.

Huh that’s actually an interesting idea.

As for a headcannon of my own, I like the idea that if Cybertronian brains are computers, like computers code can go wrong.

Though it can’t be easily fixed because A. It’s very complex. B. Like computer code fixing one thing could break ten others.

In short fixing Breakdown’s spell checker might break his ability to read or something. :P

99 bugs in the lines of my code
99 bugs in the code
Fix five bugs and run it again
125 bugs in the code

It do be like that. I don't have the patience for programming and that is partly why.

That's a good one. I've had that one for a long while now. I read a fic back in 2002 where Swoop was suffering from cascade failures, and the others were struggling to save him. I think it ended happily, but I don't remember.
