To ask for your autocorrect fails

[LadyCampanulaTottington]

My stupid phone keeps autocorrecting in to on. We’re on town. I am on the shower. Are you on work. Grrrr. Every time, even if it makes zero sense in the sentence.

Tea becomes yea (WHY APPLE, WHY) and it doesn’t seem to know the word women’s. It comes up with a red line 🧐 It becomes if but randomly.

Please tell me I am not the only soul tormented by stupid autocorrect? For reference I’m on an iPhone 11 Pro Max.

I once had to write to the manger of our local
Super Bowl and it was auto corrected to Super Bowel.

Lucky that it wouldn't have been able to read the message anyway - being a simple animal food trough

I think it was a toddler grabbing the phone rather than an auto-correct fail, but this has reminded me of the wonderfully bizarre thread about celebrating Te Noyhidc

Not funny, but definitely annoying, my iPhone always changes ‘and’ to ‘abs’. I have to remember to change it back. Because yeah, abs must be used so much more than and.

I remember the thread where the OP asked about a family cat, rather than family car.

My phone corrects "you" to "Hou" and "why" to "Whi".

Rather unfortunately, it corrects the Yiddish word "nachas" meaning the pride a child gives their parents, to "nachos". I was messaging a friend who's mother had died, and wrote "I'm sure you gave her lots of nachos"

@EishetChayil I’m sure that made her chuckle.

I wrote about eating at TGIs once and now the word "this" always becomes TGIs despite me going into my dictionary thing and deleting it.

I get "abs" for "and" as well and my phone often decides to use "it" instead of "or" and "do" instead of "so". Only occasionally though so it lulls me into a false sense of security before changing my perfectly normal and meaningful sentences into gibberish!

"Dear Heather" autocorrected to "Dear Heavier"

The number of times 'for' gets changed to 'fro'. Firstly, think how many times people ever use the word 'fro' in regular conversation. Now, think about how many times it is legitimately used without following 'to and'.

By contrast, more sentences probably include the word 'for' than don't.

Autocorrect called my senior client Brain, his name is Brian...

🤦‍♀️

I used to work with someone called Brian. He was constantly "Brain" in emails. It was one of his pet hates. He was horrible though so I found his huge frustration at this mildly amusing 😊

I loved the thread title that was autocorrected from “Sweary Binmen” to “Sweaty Binmen”.

'Kind retards' at the end of my out-of-office auto-reply Luckily spotted by a colleague quickly and fixed!

I type ‘…Sheffield Wednesday haven’t much hope of making the play-offs…’ and my phone corrects it to ‘… ‘…Sheffield Wednesday haven’t much hope of making the play-oh for fuck’s sake…’

In fact it did it as I typed this…which indicates what my phone has come to expect of me.

My friend is used to us calling her husband Stud. (He’s Stu)

After a supplier at work was being generally unpleasant and patronising to me, I commented to my boss that "they seem to think I'm a scumbag".

Only I somehow sent "they seem to think I'm a cumbag."

I asked my daughter if she had dealt with her low blood sugar - she texted back saying she had taken some flugelhorns (glucose tablets). None of us can work out how glucose tablets got autocorrected to flugelhorns but that is totally my favourite word now.

Love these. If you Google auto correct fail there are so many hilarious ones.

Never fails to cheer me up 😊

I used to go into internet chat rooms years ago. Of course you’d get people in there who were looking for more than conversation. Once this bloke asked me what I was looking for but instead of typing “just chat” I accidentally put “just shat”!

I suppose as a very early form of manual human-driven 'autocorrect', we once knew a man called Steward. His parents had wanted to call him Stewart, but the registrar's mad brain had 'autocorrected' it, thus this man went through life from then on with a job title as his name instead of an actual name.

Oh, yes - I remember his thread in Relationships, where he was despairing of ever meeting a nice normal woman through OLD instead of encountering yet another pervy poo fetishist

An old iPhone 4 I had. I was having wifi issues for months. They send out engineer Sean ( Sean was beyond hot) I text Sean to say thanks it was still working. Changed too ‘shag up’ I swear I have never used that phrase, apart from too hot man Sean. He replies, you should of said babe, I’m game

Friend asked me if her daughter Beth would like the dance class I took my daughter Amy to. It was mixed age, so perfect for my baby and toddler. However, autocorrect changed it to:

"Amy really likes it, so I think Beth would"

To…

"Amy really likes it so thick Beth would"

Cheers for that autocorrect!

I once accidentally called someone a tosser in a message about a toaster.

My daughter and her friend were texting. Friend’s pet rabbit was very ill and she texted that she hoped he would get better soon.

My daughter texted back “I hope he does” which autocorrected to “I hope he dies”.

Autocorrect always insists my name is penetrate......it is not!

Which begs the question: why were you calling somebody a toaster?!

Calling somebody in Towcester I could understand....
