How an Auto-Corrected Text Message Led to Killing

A man is going to be sentenced for manslaughter after stabbing a friend who took offence to a text message which auto-corrected itself into a threat. The man sent a text message to his friend calling him a 'mutter' which is slang for a wannabe, or a streetwise teenager, but what he wanted to send out was 'nutter' which is slang for someone who is crazy. After that text was sent from the the man the text became more escalated, eventually the man who died came over to the mans house with a knife but the man had tapped two knifes to the backs of doors. By the end of the battle the man had stabbed the other man 104 times. 


I think that phones clearly state weather or not it is going to change a word automatically. Even though victim was murdered he was also the instigator in this fight, thats why I think that they can't put the full blame on the man being convicted. I think that if the man wasn't so vicious with his attack, that he could argue that it was self defense.
