Idk I just typed "kalifa" and had to fix autocorrect changing it to Khalifa. Or dude could be familiar with Arabic transliteration and the name but not the person.

Doesn't matter to me though. I'm distracted now that I'm thinking about Mia Khalifa.

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 82 points 5 days ago

Or they could just know the correct spelling of a common Arabic name.

[-] fartsparkles@lemmy.world 85 points 5 days ago

Or their phone keyboard offered an autocorrection… Google have been doing that for years now.

[-] QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 25 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

autocorrect capitalizes names, the name in the post isn't capitalized

[-] fartsparkles@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

The could have auto capitalization turned off

[-] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 25 points 5 days ago

So what you're saying is google knows how to spell Mia Khalifa's name. Does this mean they want my attention?

[-] Leviathan@lemmy.world 28 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

To be fair, if I swipe kalifa on my keyboard it autocorrects to Khalifa every time. There is no kalifa option other than the one I've just forced. If this person wasn't paying attention to the "h" it could've been accidental.

[-] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 4 days ago

They might be aware of the Burge Khalifa building

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 15 points 4 days ago

No, I've never heard of the Burj Khalifa.

Or the rapper Wiz Khalifa for that matter. The song played at the end of fast 7 when they sent Paul Walker away (See you again) has billions of views on YouTube. In fact it's up to 7 billion now.

Incidentally that was the movie in which they jumped out of Burj Khalifa in cars lol

[-] msfroh@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 days ago

I had read previously (and just confirmed on Wikipedia) that Mia Khalifa (real name Sarah Joe Chamoun) got her stage name from her dog, Mia, and Wiz Khalifa.

So, familiarity with Wiz Khalifa is directly relevant to knowing how Mia Khalifa's name is spelled.

Tbf, you don't have to be a rainman of early 2010s porn to recognise poor transliteration arabic to english, but i'm sure it helps.

[-] SCmSTR 20 points 5 days ago

I hate modern Internet culture

[-] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago
[-] craftrabbit@lemmy.zip 9 points 4 days ago

Ok but... who is Mia khalifa?

(I looked it up, I think it's former controversial porn actress, current internet personality)

[-] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 days ago

your

I love when smug dickheads make 2nd grade grammar errors.

[-] leg@leminal.space 3 points 4 days ago

I'm a smug dickhead, but usually when I make that mistake, it's because swype doesn't know which "your" I meant, and I fail to catch the mis-swype. Same with "too/to". And, weirdly, "me/Mr". It's actually a pretty common occurrence, and it's a huge pain point.

[-] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Most awesome thing I've seen today edit: wait I hiked up a hill and looked at the city skyline today, nevermind

[-] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 5 days ago

Or autocorrect or they read it and wrote it how it sounded to them without looking closely at spelling or many other possible reasons.

[-] gilgameth@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

They could've searched "Mia Kalifa" and found out the correct spelling. So it's not necessarily begging for attention.

[-] kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 5 days ago

Then why would they ask who it is?

[-] Carnelian@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago

Gil already thought about this is and is just commenting for attention

[-] Hamartia@lemmy.world 16 points 5 days ago
[-] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

Notice how his name is spelled gilgame-t-h here, and you spelled it right; shows that you know of him and you are simply begging for attention.

[-] Zier@fedia.io 3 points 5 days ago

What's "attention" and does it come in a caffeinated beverage form?

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 1 points 5 days ago

Notice how it's spelt "atenttion" here and you spelt it correct, showing you already have enough

[-] qualia@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Or they just know how to spell common surnames. Or they listen to rap. And only actually knows her after those two.

[-] gilgameth@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Goddammit, they're begging for attention!
