To think "brace" is a more commonly used word than "brace"?

What IS autocorrect's bloody problem?

Also "in it" is something it ALWAYS tries to change to "innit" (!)

Who programmes these things?

Google 'how to turn off autocorrect on phone'?

Another one my phone likes to do - it corrects my initial (S) to a completely different one (A) when I'm signing off emails. I didn't notice for a while, until a client asked me if I sometimes go by a different name

Ducking Auto carrot

I am too emotionally involved in anything to do with the sheer c*ntishness of autocorrect to even read this fun thread.

It is an effing eff and I wish it would eff off to the far side of eff and then eff off some more.

(You would not believe how many tines I had to correct the above as I was typing. The effer.)

When my best friend was Very Pregnant, and I was wondering what present to buy, someone suggested the Dream Sheep - so I texted her to see if she already had one. Except Autocorrect decided that Ewan was a shit name for a sheep, so the Dream Sheep is now named Rwanda.

I get annoyed when my ac changes the right they're/their/there to the wrong one - as I'm so pedantic about using the right one!!

Anyone remember "I'm slowcooking porn..(..) " ??

I just had a text from my friend which said 'Dad's just been up the hospital and they say he IS dead.' Luckily I knew he was there for a hearing test. 😆

I am actually crying at Rwanda the dream sheep.

@SchadenfreudePersonified come on, you must be able to raise a small smirk for anal, 3sum or Rwanda??

My therapist once emailed me, when I was feeling particularly low and suicidal, beginning:

"Dead Addley,"

She was (ahem) mortified. I told her it was the only thing I'd laughed at in days.

I can indeed raise smirks of all sizes! And a lot of my own corrected posts have had me wetting myself, they're so idiotic!

It's when I'm on a rant and post my venomous diatribe only to realise when I see it in the print, so to speak, that it is totally unintelligible because of all of the autocorrects.

And like an early poster - I really do say "fuck" that often and rarely mention ducks at all, but the autocorrect will insist on making my language "toddler-friendly".

The bastard.

this is brilliant.. cheered me right up lol as it's such a miserable day here lol

my autocorrect changes "you" to "yiu" which isn't even a word!!

I once 'dated' a guy who kept going awol. He sent me a text on one occasion saying that he liked me but felt a bit 'sacred'...
I also like the fact that it changes a siblings name to 'mafia' and a best friend to 'heifer'. That's got me in trouble once or twice.

Oh @Addley I don't know whether to laugh or feel very very sorry for her

I have friends called James and Sarah. Once sent a text to them both and it corrected their names to Jesus and Satan!

We always call it autocorrupt. My phone now brings it up as a word in preference to autocorrect.

Mine always corrects deaf to dead.
Which is a bit disconcerting when I sign off texts on my work phone as PurpleAlerts- Teacher of the Dead. 😬

Lumela

Brilliant!!!!

That's my new term.

Purple

That is just beyond superb . . .

I wish that mine had changed my title to "Specialist in Iatrogenic Vice Disorders"

Alas, it was not to be. I was stuck with being a voice specialist . . . .
