The NBA sent out a memo about all the international players in the league, which led to this email by Warriors Co-Owner Peter Guber.
Guber responded to the email by writing, “I’m taking rosetta stone to learn Hungarian Serbian Australian swahili and hoodish This year. But it’s nice.”
This offended some in the Warriors organization, but Guber has an explanation.
Guber’s initial email was sent throughout the franchise and construed as “offensive” by at least one team employee. Late Monday, Guber sent a follow-up email saying he mistakenly typed “hoodish” and regretted the error. […] “Someone just brought to my attention that an email I responded to earlier contains the word ‘hoodish,’ which I don’t even think Is a Word, and certainly not the one I intended to use,” Guber wrote in the email. “I intended to type Yiddish. Either my mobile fone [sic] autocorrected or it was typed wrong. In any event I regret if anyone was unintendedly [sic] offended.”
So, I typed Hoodish in my iPhone and it autocorrected to “Goodish”. When I type in Yiddish it doesn’t autocorrect to anything.
Just saying……
