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.

I have a titled cervix rather than a tilted one! 😀

And not autocorrect but auto spell check where someone just accepted them all without checking. Really posh hotel who was serving up Aberdeen Anus Beef for dinner.

This wasn't me!

Is the thread title on purpose, OP, btw?

On the way to a friend’s house once, I texted to inform her I’d got wine.

Phone changed it to wind. Don’t think she was looking forward to seeing me quite as much!

Texted our daughter to come downstairs to watch Merlin - autocorrect reset it to Merkin😂

I love these, and last week managed a clanger, I sent DH the following: Why is your cock five minutes slow in the car? It does my bloody heading?

I'm not even sure what a heading would be Confused

Whilst texting my bf about passing something over to her husband, I text “I missed Dave today I’m really sorry”, only it changed it to “I kissed Dave today I’m really sorry”. In jest she replied “you’ve been kissing Dave? How was it?”. We laughed an awful lot 😂

I foster dogs for a charity and took on a very elderly girl after her owner passed away. I was given the contact details of the ladies daughter and she had asked me to keep in touch and let her know how she settles in. I text her a few days later 'did you realise she is completely dead'......completely deaf! is what I meant. I felt awful.

At work one of my computers used to suggest i swopped inconvienience to incontinence.

I am dyslexic so rely heavily on computers correcting my spelling or suggesting the correct spelling.

Watching bake off I once put in the group chat that I was glad one of the contestants had burst his loaf in the oven. And my phone changed it to burst his load in the oven Blush

Auto-correct likes to change my name to salty.

AviatorShades · 13/07/2018 10:29

alwaysiero that made me laughGrin

Haha loving these! My mother tongue isn't English so this doesn't translate well but in my language the word helmet and dick(but even ruder word for it) are similar. I texted to a relatively new friend if we have enough dicks for everyone.

Mine changed burgers to moviegoers.

Led to a very confusing conversation with DH when in McDonalds.

It still insists on changing burgers to moviegoers. I have to fight with the bloody thing every time I want to write burgers

Sandwich on my phone became Satan, thanks to me using the word Satan in a previous text.

Text became "Just making a Satan for the road and I'll be with you"

alligatorsmile · 13/07/2018 10:32

What was 'vibrator white finger' meant to be?

Lostbeyondwords · 13/07/2018 10:37

Thought I texted dh, "electrician is coming over today" as we had some work that needed doing. He asked me who Ian was. Turns out I'd sent "electric Ian is coming over today"

So now at every opportunity, if I'm going out or I'm home alone, dh and dc ask if I'm going to be seeing electric Ian.

dogzdinner · 13/07/2018 10:39

I've had the Steve/queue one before. Steve then became shorthand for being stuck anywhere.

Not autocorrect, but a typo - telling my son to keep something in his schoolbag, but wrote 'in your vag'

In my GCSE ICT coursework I submitted a draft talking about a “floppy dick” rather than a floppy disk Blush

Fleetwoodmac2 · 13/07/2018 10:42

I still wonder whether snapped and farted was an autocorrect

Bubblysqueak · 13/07/2018 10:45

I was emailing my sones new Sen school and auto correct changed kind regards to kind retards. Thank God I sent it to my admin person at work to check it over before i sent it.

DoYouLikeHueyLewisandTheNews · 13/07/2018 10:47

Before we were married and discussed having children I text my then boyfriend "I am feeling sooooo fertile 😁". I meant festive.

@alligatorsmile

It's Vibration white finger, often caused by using jackhammers or other heavy tools. Smile

I told DS I was making 'rotten potatoes' (roasted!) with dinner. Wondered why he didn't sound keen...

Bubblysqueak · 13/07/2018 10:52

How ironic! I really should check what I write before I hit send.
