As an iPhone user who is always having to go back and proofread my texts, this site never fails to crack me up... It's easier to make these mistakes than you would think. 😉

From out of the corner of my eye, I swear the title of your thread looked like "Damn You, Auto-Tune". I had a small fit of giggle picturing you sounding like T-Pain and freaking out your kids. :p:p

I love errors like this and always like browsing that site. You can easily spot my BB posts made from my iPhone because spelling and grammar goes out the window, and the occasional random word turns up in the middle of a sentence 🙂
 
I need to take Auto Correct off mine. Anytime I try to type "Awww" on my phone, it automatically changes it to "Sewers".

If you press 'x' when the word comes up a few times, it will learn the word and not correct it again :)
I have the best ever auto correct story to tell. Unfortunately it's not family friendly. 'Fast' apparently got misspelt as 'fart'. Amazingly funny when put in context of the discussion.

Christopher agrees: Was it 'Unfortunately in bed he's a bit fart'?

Personally I think it's even funnier than that. I'll PM you the story perhaps.

Most of my best Auto Correct stories aren't family friendly; that's what makes them so freakin' funny! 😀

ALL the best autocorrect stories are dirty. Hell - all the best stories in general are dirty ;)
I hate when my iphone does that. And then I have to text again to fix the error.lol

I've never been to the website until now.
 
This is off topic but I notice alot of people have the iPhone does anyone else use the tapatalk app for forums? I use it ALL the time. It's wonderful.

And iPhone autocorrect is so effing annoying that I just had to type effing four times before it would stop replacing it with 'edging' iffy.

Iffy? No I definitely typed uggh.

I find the Tapatalk popup on supported forums so annoying I've avoided buying it.
The auto-correct on my iPod is terrible. The auto-correct that came with my default keyboard on my droid was virtually non-existant and the auto-correct on my current keyboard is better. It doesn't catch everything and sometimes changes my words to things I don't mean... but it rarely changes my words to things I don't mean. More often it won't catch something... something I hate is when I type "yes" "yrs" and it leaves it because it thinks I'm saying "years." But this auto-correct is t9 based so I can add words and I can type two letters and scroll and it learns me. So it hasn't done the "years" thing in about a month because I don't ever mean "years" and I always go back and change it to "yes."

In short: I'm glad I have a droid. But as someone who used her iPod's mobile internet A LOT before she had a smartphone, I relate very much to that website and I'm in love with it.
 
Lmao, these are soooooo funny, really giving me a giggle. Yeah i have the same problem quite often on my phone with the autocorrect but it gets even worse if i am drinking and attempting to text lol
 
Lmfaooo I love the site!!!
Everytime I put my write my last name on mine, it auto-corrects it to breast. I've gotten some interesting responses in the past!!! 😛 😀

Love your banner!!! I think I've told you this before lol
Auto correct makes me LOL...some of the words make the text more interesting that it would be normally. My question is have you ever checked your text before sending and still sent the bad auto correct because you could not be bothered to change it?

Sometimes I will hit enter before I realize I should have changed a word. Especially if I'm in a hurry... My sister always cracks up laughing over the "corrections" it makes.
 
OK, now I have to write something, too!
The site is sooooo awesome!
Some of that stuff is so funny I'm dying! 😀

Thank you so much for posting! 🙂
