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.

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

It's trying to imply that it thinks you're boring

There really is a street in Oxford called Crotch Crescent!

Not relevant to thread, but triggered by the comment: Apparently "Gropecunt lane" used to be a very common English street name, for the street where you could find prostitutes. The one in London was near Farringdon, which was unusual, as Southwark was the main area for prostitutes at that time.

My phone has decided that ‘for’ should be ‘fir’. How likely is it that I should want to talk about fir trees more often than wanting to say ‘for’?!? Fucks me right off.

A few weeks ago, I had to put a call from my boss on hold as I was on site in Aldershot. I texted him to say I would call him when free, as “I was in Aldershit”. I was so embarrassed! He thought it was hilarious, he had been in the army stationed there and said it was a fair reflection….

All the best turned into ‘all the breast’ 😂 😬

Last year my DD sent a Thank you note to our rather pish friend thanking her for the Peasants she had sent them.
My friend found it funny fortunately.

Making a typo in a thread about autocorrect. Mumsnet needs an edit function!

Dear leisha translated as dear lesbian, every single time!

Mine today only seen after I sent a WhatsApp to a friend who's an amazing cook... text was meant to say 'your beef stir fry is now considered iconic amongst us all' but iconic was somehow autocorrected to 'idiotic' and I hardly ever use that word! She saw the funny side luckily 🤣

Also does anyone else have the word 'side' constantly changed to 'dude' on their iPhone? Mine does and I'm not American so never use that word!

My iPhone habitually autocorrects male to Male. I don't know why. I literally had to add the word male with no capital letter to my dictionary . Was not having that!

It doesn't like my name so I often sign off emails as Any. I once managed to sign up to RAC with the name Any and had to call immediately to change it. That was annoying.

This one REALLY pisses me off. I am good at spelling and grammar. I generally don't make many mistakes. iPhone will insist on putting an apostrophe in just about any word that ends with an S. Particularly its .

My e-mail to my orthopaedic consultant, Mr Kelly, came through as Mr Jelly ... the PAs found it hilarious apparently!!

To a friend's husband who was talking about wife's pregnancy. She suffered years of infertility and possibly miscarriage (she's very private, but believe this is true based on some past convos).

Me: So excited for you!
Friend: Thanks
Me: When baby die? [supposed to be 'When baby due']

I still feel sick about it. Damn autocorrect.

I've just seen one on FB!

A lady is asking if anyone can help get her kitchen out of a tree.

I was txtin a friend asking if she needed a hand planning her mums wake I couldn't believe it wen it's changed to let me no if u need a band 🤣 luckily she seen the funny side to it

Looked after my friends DD in the summer.

She meant to text me "How has she got knots in her hair?" (her DD and mine had been rolling down the hill and having lots of fun, it probably got messy like that)

What she actually text me "How have you got nits in her hair?

We laugh about it now but she was mortified at the time
