Darn, I was hoping the software developer would turn out to be just a really big fan of ducks.

Funny, I don’t often get stupid mistakes in my text messages, but then I don’t try to text with my thumbs while trying to drive a car, and I’m obsessive about proper communication, the last word there was actually a suggestion by my autocorrect, which put ‘autocorrect’ in, in context, as well.
In fact, it’s ability to not only suggest the next word correctly, it’s suggested the next three words correctly, and in context.
That’s down to me using it for over ten years and teaching it properly.

Kinda cute, but at least half way in 'Kill it with fire!" territory if you ask me.

There’s some rule of the internet that claiming moral high ground on communication quality is always done in a post with grammar, spelling, or punctuation errors in it. In this case, a run-on sentence and an improper possessive apostrophe.
I’m sure this response has errors as well, but I don’t claim to be a texting or typing god. I acknowledge my human frailty and that of others.
Whatever grandma says rules!..
She uses many posts around the garden so further comments are not necessary.
Digging deeper she will set traps with bait that will click on a mouse head… snapping sound… scroll down and pinch expand to see the whole mess.
Not sure where I was going with this response.
Clicked the big blue reply button after a few whiskeys so here we go!
