“The Internet has caught on to yet another hilarious autocorrect,” Alejandro Alba reports for The New York Daily News.
“The iPhone’s autocorrect will change ‘Larda’ or ‘Lardass’ to ‘Kardashians’ every time a user types it in a message or blank text field,” Alba reports. “Lardass is defined by Dictionary.com as “a person having usually large buttocks,” which the Kardashians are known for—especially Kim Kardashian who ‘broke the Internet‘ with her butt in 2014.”
Alba reports, “The quirk might be happening because both lardass and Kardashian have “ardas” in the same order and the iPhone instantly recognizes Kardashian since it’s a more popular term.”

MacDailyNews Take: Hey, if the shoe fits, so to speak.
Of course it does.
And, your point is?
I don’t see any problem here.
There is no problem with the actual English version of autocorrect as sued in England, it only happens on the US English version.
Going back to my old iPod Touch running iOS 6, it doesn’t work with the US or UK keyboard. Instead it wants to type ‘Lard ads’.
It’s a back-end issue.
I turned off auto-correct long ago…I spent more time correcting auto-correct than I did actual typing. Besides, it weakens your spelling skills.
Yur an idyot
I no.
You to are fun knee!
…and the problem is what again? lol
This is offensive to lardasses everywhere — a huge affront to big behinds.
Or “lard assets” but that’s not as funny.
does it autocorrect Eric Schmidt to ‘mole’?
To be fair, it corrects to Kardashian from Larda, But funny either way.
I was working for Burroughs when they merged with Sperry to become Unisys. The spell check in their Btos word processor was blunt about what it thought of this, neatly replacing Unisys with “anuses”.
Since “k” and “l” are next to each other on a QWERTY keyboard, it is a reasonable typo correction for the first five characters plus predictive completion of a known word.
Is this great? Does Kim Kardashian sleep on her stomach???
obviously?
So, in other words . . . it’s working.
The correction goes in the wrong direction.
I was thinking of terms other than lardass, but they were not politically correct.
They are kind of more famous for being famous than anything else and they are not anything special. I can find better looking women walking down the street in Los Angeles any day of the week.
I like a shapely woman, but never got the memo on the huge ass. A nice round, tight ass is much better.
Apple goes where the hockey puck will be.
