Then don't expect me to note your misplaced concern.
Okay, so did you try to outsmart autocorrect or not?
Have you lost it? What autocorrect?

I see you're asking for an explanation now despite not withdrawing jumping to conclusions...

EDIT: So, there is an autocorrect in place. So hhm actually wanted to beat the system and wanted it to be the version some people consider derogatory so intentionally misspelled. Interesting.

Pakistani is the exact equivalent to calling someone a n1gga, to be honest.

You never refer to Faisal Hasnain by his name anyway. Normally just the Pakistani, now the Pakistani. Not acceptable.

We were referring to this intentional beating the system business.

The Pakii thought he was superman and the ICC sent him paking.
Before you say it was unintentional, you knew what was going on when you played with it here to use it in a proper scenario.

"P-a-k-i" was mentioned, can't say Pakistani is derogatory though.

You guys really are losing it! Heck even the rude young Aussie owned a whole thread about likeable players and proceeded to discuss me instead of players, and the successive comments were no different.

Pakistani isn't a derogatory term here in the UK. P-a-k-I is, which is why I flagged it up a while ago.

German people are called Germans, those from Pakistan are Pakistani, those from Iraq are Iraqi.

Just a terminology which is frowned upon here in the UK

You know which nationality really bucks the trend though... "Danes". Doesn't even have the country name in the nationality name!

Yeah,

I keep getting autocorrected... Which shows that he definitely deliberately misspelt it, in order to make sure that the actual racist slur slipped through the autocorrect net. Pathetic.

Locking this thread.

But for the record, yes, there is an autocorrect in place for the word in question. It's there for a reason that I do not need to explain (but this covers it), and intentionally working around it by 'misspelling' is grounds for a warning / ban.
