Mine corrected were old to werewolf yesterday. I think there must have been also a spelling mistake... because when I write it now it does not correct it.

The name of DS’ deputy headteacher was autocorrected to Mrs Crotchless (on Android).

So glad DH checked it before sending.

The thread where the OP had colleagues who were talking about someone new at work and she said she was angry and weed in her chair. (I don't think they came back to confirm what they meant).

Husband once texted that his ‘gay fever’ was playing up. Still laugh at the idea that high pollen count could make him look at George Clooney in a new light.
I recently texted the handyman we use for work and luckily noticed BEFORE I hit send that I’d asked him to ‘strip in the goats field’ rather than strim.

I sent my sister a text which said I'd bumped into her mate in Crotch End. It was supposed to be Crouch End, but has been renamed Crotch End in our house.

I sent a text once and autocorrect changed the word thing to thong, I was Blush mortified as I was texting someone official lol

Years ago my old phone corrected maxi dress to nazi dress. I didn't check before I'd sent and wondered why my friend text back and said 'I'm not sure that's appropriate'...
It corrected Brooke to Arnold once, which has resulted in said Brooke being called Arnold for eternity. DDs nursery manager sent an email requesting that, for the farm trip could they all bring named Willies Grin

I work for a scout/girl guide/brigade type charity and we often have the wellies to willies autocorrect.

Hippee · 13/07/2018 09:35

Not an autocorrect, but I only just caught a typo saying "I have been very busty today".

IntercontinentalButtCrack · 13/07/2018 09:38

Easy choice for me.

About to have an important video call with boss and said I needed ten mins to get all my ducks in a row.

You can see where that went wrong I expect...

Screenshot went on our work network immediately and I'm now banned from using that phrase!

I was writing instructions for a lesson online as I was going to be away.
My intended "classmates" became "cellmates"...Hang on.

Someone even made a little postit cartoon to put on my monitor of all my dicks lined up. There was an impressive range of shape and size. Hilarious and very embarrassing.

Abnormalities - abnormal titties.

I used to be an auditor and have seen a load of amusing typos, usually in very formal reports!

echt · 13/07/2018 09:43

Intercontinental I'd imagined the autocorrect would be all your fucks in a row. Now I think of it, possibly the same thing.:o

aVastBehind · 13/07/2018 09:44

I once text someone at work telling them they would likely be receiving some randy texts from me. I meant ranty as they were making some unwelcome changes to our shift patterns.

I was auditing a report and saw that this particular client was invested in a personal penis plan.

My phone keeps changing the name of where I live to 'Fucking' That's going to lead to a serious misunderstanding some day!

MaitlandGirl · 13/07/2018 09:50

One of my girls is called Issy and my iPhone autocorrects it to issue in every message I type! Issys becomes issues as well.

I emailed a client at work, 'sorry for any inconvenience', but ended up putting 'sorry for any incontinence'.

soupforbrains · 13/07/2018 09:56

rather a long time ago I texted my boyfriend to ask is he was on his way back from the shops yet. He replied "Not yet. Still in Steve." to which i replied "??!" and got the response "It's really long. Might be a while."

turned out he was in the queue...

Discussing whether we wanted the set menu at the Chinese for a family meal - my mum replied that my stepdad likes to eat dick 🙈😂

I was supposed to say I need to take a screenshot... I ended up sending I need to take a screenshit

Last Christmas my ds apparently wrote a letter to Santander.
