“Dear Apple, No one uses the word ‘ducking,’ absolutely no one”

According to one joke, Apple iphones autocorrect “fucking” to “ducking.” “I use the word ‘fucking’ all the time. Why does iPhone still autocorrect to ducking. No one even uses that FUCKING word” was posted on Twitter by Je$ha on January 16, 2013.

Wikipedia: Autocorrection
Autocorrection, also known as text replacement, replace-as-you-type or simply autocorrect, is an automatic data validation function commonly found in word processors and text editing interfaces for smartphones and tablet computers. Its principal purpose is as part of the spell checker to correct common spelling or typing errors, saving time for the user. It is also used to automatically format text or insert special characters by recognizing particular character usage, saving the user from having to use more tedious function.

No one uses the word “ducking” in a text conversation. Don’t pretend like you don’t know what I’m trying to say, autocorrect!
