We use an older version of Outlook at work and it turns :) into ๐Ÿ™‚ but not the emoji but the Wingdings smiley which is the letter J when you use a different font. I only found out after months when somebody asked me why I put so many J's in my mails.

I don't remember asking you a god damn thing Outlook ๐Ÿคจ

holy crap, is that where all the Js come from?

If there's a bad decision that can be made, the Outlook development team made it. It's a real shame that the industry standard is a hot garbage fire of a program.

I've had to re-disable auto correct options multiple times in outlook. I'm perfectly fine capitalizing my own letters because sometimes I type code snippets in emails and don't want those being treated as if they are sentences that need grammar and spelling corrections. I don't need your fucking angled quotes either.

Red or green underlines to say you think there's a problem are ok. Changing what I'm typing without me telling you to is not.

Mac OS has autocorrect enabled by default on the entire operating system. Why TF would I want that when I'm typing with a full-sized physical keyboard? It's especially annoying when you're typing code. So yeah, I disabled all that crap within a couple of minutes. It's super annoying.

When i was about 10 i sent an email to my uncle that said "K cool ๐Ÿ™‚" with the wingding smile.

His client rendered it "K cool J" and he made fun of my "jive"

Never sent an email using multiple or nonstandard typefaces again. I guess it was a good lesson, but it's one of those hyper cringe core memories.
