Sunak or Sunk, autocorrect?

[AviatorTom]

The current Prime Minister of the UK (there have been several in the last few years) is Rishi Sunak, but autocorrect often changes his name to Rishi Sunk.

Should he consider changing his name? Or should the UK ban autocorrect?

Autocorrect contrary to popular belief/understanding does not actually utilize all words. It is installed with the most COMMONLY used words. It then develops further based on an individual user. So for example someone who rarely swears will have f#^king autocorrected to ducking. Where as someone who swears regularly will not have that issue. In addition to that your phone or computer will store words you use that are not in its auto correct database. So the more of certain words you type the more likely it is your phone will not prompt an autocorrect. Same with this guy's name. 1 it isn't common. 2 it isn't something people will say often enough for it to be stored into the database where as his first name Rishi (on my phone it tried changing it to rushing) is more commonly said due to the nature of conversation so is store far quicker than his last name

He will be Sunk next year. Tories have 25-30% of support (in two party system) and don't have any idea for themselves

Which makes me happy actually. The only difference between them and Labour is that the Tories decieve people to believe they are conservative, while the Labour doesn't. I hate imposters.

The "Sunk" thing often appears in headlines like "Is sunak sunk?"
Even Grammarly says he's sunk

Not "sunk" - "drunk!"

How did someone without an English name become PM of the UK?

[OlderAndWiser]

The same way that someone with a middle name of Hussein became a US president.

@OlderAndWiser Are you talking Obama?

[OlderAndWiser]

Yes, I am.

[Orangekiss]

@OlderAndWiser There was always a question as to whether he was born in the US, which he needed to be in order to be President. How come they have a minimum age to be President, but not a maximum age?

I think dementia associated with aging was far less common when the Constitution was drafted.

@OlderAndWiser You have a point.

Because he is British.

Funny. I feel for him. I think autocorrect could be corrected - it is probably a matter of sticking Sunak into the the autocorrect dictionary.

It does concern me that politicians appear to text each other now. It is only a matter of time before autocorrect causes a nuclear war in my view.

as long as he keeps supporting Israel against the savages I don't care what his name is

[AngryCarl]

Our PM is Sunak. Our country is sunk.

[exitseven]

The UK should ban Sunak

Finally something we can agree on!

This question is racist.
