See, people don't believe me when I say phone keypads suck. This typo killed 2!

The life of 20-year-old Emine, and her 24-year-old husband Ramazan Çalçoban was pretty much the normal life of any couple in a separation process. After deciding to split up, the two kept having bitter arguments over the cellphone, sending text messages to each other until one day Ramazan wrote "you change the topic every time you run out of arguments." That day, the lack of a single dot over a letterproduct of a faulty localization of the cellphone's typing systemcaused a chain of events that ended in a violent blood bath (Warning: offensive language ahead.)

Bizarre if true.

What would be the Canadian equivalent? Your girlfriend texting you to say that she's going for drinks with a guy from the office and you jokingly replying "You cAnt!". But it coming out with a different vowel? That'd be a bloodbath.

Ok, I don't know if you can blame that on a cell phone or translation though, how about just not over-reacting?
In this digital age we've all gotten into arguments because of a typo, or because we couldn't figure out the sarcasm or whatever.
While the printed word is amazing for things like novels and poems, it can often be a poor substitute for a good old fashioned discussion when you are trying to explain things, or have a debate. (Or argument I suppose)
Crazy people.

C'mon, Daradon... Haven't you ever had a girlfriend? Did you read what the translation morphed into? There's not a chick alive that wouldn't get stabby over that...

It's it's own language ... that's not enough criteria to be a race?

She: This guy asked me to go for a drink with him
You: Whore are you going?
BTW, if she were going for drinks with some guy, it would probably mean I am not misspelling.

How screwed up is a language where one type of "i" being misrepresented as another can change the meaning from "...when you run out of arguments" to "...when they are f'ing you"?
I don't blame the phone, I blame stupid language.

That's exactly what I thought too. It's time to make Esperanto the official language of the whole planet maybe. From what I've read about Esperanto it's a pretty logical language as far as grammar and all that goes. I'm sure it's not perfect either, but at least everybody would be on the same page ... de-babel the planet so to speak.
