Just checked and Nuggets doesn't autocorrect to the N word.

The I and R are right next to the correct letters so it appears to be an extremely unfortunate typo.

Maybe he typed "Nuggers" instead of "Nuggets"

pretty sure autocorrect will start correcting to words you use a lot...

For real though, isn't this where common sense should prevail? Does anyone actually think that dude would do that on purpose?

Unfortunately I already know the answer to the common sense part

Unfortunately for him, auto-correct also takes into account words that you have previously used when responding to texts when figuring out what it thinks you're trying to say. Not saying that happened here but....not a good look.

Ooof. I'm gonna guess he fat fingered and hit the R next to the T which spelled Nuggers and got auto corrected to the forbidden word. Likely an honest mistake but the N word isn't in his auto correct dictionary by default. You gotta add that one in.

Doesn't your phone not auto-correct if the first letter is capitalized because it assumes it is a name/proper noun?

Or it's a word that he uses a lot so it autocorrects to it.

It's done this to me with the name of players on my favorite teams.
