Autocorrect funnies
Edited on Thu Jul-21-11 10:41 PM by petronius
This has probably already been posted, but just in case anyone else is as far behind the curve as I usually am: Damn you, Autocorrect!

3. I don't have a device with AutoCorrect.
So I have no idea if any of these so-called Fails are really possible, but they always seem a little too contrived to me.

6. I'd forgotten that my blackberry has autocorrect.
It rarely happens, so I don't notice it much. Interesting about the iPod being dirty - I was wondering why it would change 'coke' to 'cock'. That seemed like a stretch to me, but I guess if it's programmed to be dirty that's what'll happen.

4. I check Damn You, Autocorrect regularly.
Sometimes I laugh til I cry. I just wonder how the autocorrect feature knows some of those words.

8. OK, I have to ask, being as my phone is only a phone. OK, and a camera.

Can't you turn autocorrect off? :shrug:

I know I've always hated (and opted to turn off) that ridiculous 'predictive text' crap for text messaging.
