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.

My phone changed something to 'arse spaniel' once.
I sent the message anyway because it was to OH and it suited him. Think it must have been drawing on the lexicon of filthy language stored on there.

My mum once texted me from a fancy hotel to say she'd had "a scrotum for dinner, it was delicious!"

It should have been risotto! 🤣

Some of these are brilliant. This should be a continuous thread.

DD1's old phone would always autocorrect 'OK' to 'Oklahoma'.

I'd typed AED

My son’s name is Sully and frequently autocorrects to Sulky (a pretty accurate description some days) and the village I grew up in autocorrects to virused Grin

Sent my colleague an email saying 'I know you are busty but have you got time to help me with X"

She relied "I'll try not to let my tits get in the way of helping you"

Proudly announced in my CV for a student summer job in a cafe that I had a "foof hygiene certificate".

LorelaiVictoriaGilmore · 13/07/2018 19:40

I messaged new NCT friends about some brightly coloured Muslims I had seen. 🤦🏽‍♀️

OMG I love autocorrects - tears streaming down my face!

My worst one was on a group chat with mummy friends not long after I met them. It was just after a terror attack and one of the girls was travelling to that place the next day and was worried and I said "oh try not to be scared - there are nutters everywhere in the world who could do this" only my phone autocorrected to a really horrible word beginning with N

When I used to keep chickens, one evening I was working late and it was getting dark. I texted dh asking if he would go and ‘shit the chickens up’!!

When I got home he said he’d tiptoed up behind them and shout ‘boo’ before he shut the coop but wasn’t sure it had the requested effect!! 🤣

"There's a big fat butt outside, moving a digger"

Should have been "There's a flatbed truck outside, moving a digger"

I use voice dictation for texts, and it came up with this earlier today. Didn't notice until I'd sent it. Wasn't insulting the builders, honest!

IllHaveALargeGlassOfRed · 13/07/2018 20:21

Foof hygiene certificate - I love it! Grin

IllHaveALargeGlassOfRed · 13/07/2018 20:24

I almost sent an email with the N word too - talking about one of my events saying "it's going to be a bigger event this year"

Fucking hell - that was to a senior member of staff too. I'm so glad i double checked Blush

Auntpetunia2015 · 13/07/2018 20:26

Work colleague is called Shirley autocorrected to shirker...sums her up perfectly!!

Jammiebammie · 13/07/2018 20:55

Parent group text, and I replied ‘no pubes’
Meant to be no probs! They all teased me for weeks Didn’t know them all much either, at least it broke the ice!!

Youranus · 13/07/2018 21:12

I recently texted "Good luck in your driving testicle" to a friend!

Bahhhhhumbug · 13/07/2018 21:18

I once submitted a letter to the Dogs Today magazine about the need to raise 'pubic' awareness (re: puppy farming) l only noticed when l read through it again feeling quite pleased with my submission until it leapt off the page at me in slow motion. Thankfully it was spotted and corrected before being published.

auto spell used to change one colleagues surname from Pendle to Penile everytime
and Brendan to Brenda

Rozzzzzalmost35 · 13/07/2018 22:37

Not an autocorrect as such but will always remember my Facebook posts "work done for the day, now home for a big helping of hubby's parsnip". I missed the word "soup" off the end! X

Bluelonerose · 13/07/2018 22:51

My phone often changes microchipped to microwaved. Which is great when I'm shouting at people for not microwaving their cats Blush

Dh has been told on quite a few occasions we have slag bol for dinner Grin

HildaZelda · 13/07/2018 23:49

I've remembered another one. My friend messaged me recently to ask if I was around later and I sent back "No, have to go to Aldi after lunch".
Heard nothing back from her until later that night when she asked me what on earth I'd been doing in Aldershot? Grin

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 14/07/2018 23:01

Ohhhh....I think I may win this!!!

And I have SCREENSHOTS!!!

Read the email...then get the fact that fucking AC changed the subject- micro PIG...to micro PENIS!!!

I died a little that day...
