Autocorrect can be helpful but sometimes, it goes a little nuts... What's your experience?

#1

So I was texting my friends about how the new Superman movie looks great, especially the trailer, and I'm over here just screaming for more. Well, the autocorrect changed it to Créámíng. Yeah. I'm putting the accents there just in case.

My friends didn't believe me when I said it was accidental, and honestly, because of my sense of humor, I don't blame them at all.

I once in a text to my girlfriend in the morning, I meant to say "I woke up late"; somehow that autocorrected to "I woke up kate".. Hilarity ensued when she texted back about an hour later "Who's Kate". Fortunately, we are both reasonable people and we quickly discovered my mistake. She has taken to calling my bicycle "Kate" because only my bike makes her jealous.

    I picked up some Chinese food after work and texted my boyfriend, who loves duck sauce "I'm on my way home now and don't worry, I got extra f**k sauce for you." We still call it f**k sauce instead of duck sauce to this day.

    Last night, my mom was looking up Sam Smith (they are a famous non-binary singer) and typed their name in the search bar.

    Sam Smith. But the autocorrect turned it into DAMN SMOOTH.

    I think all my organs ruptured from laughing so hard.

    Sounds like a name for a rapper.

    That's what I told my brother (we'd already come up with a made-up rapper called Lil Thug Cheese)

    Your autocorrect is politically correct? Non-binary, anyway

    Not mine, but one of the funniest of all time - "My wife texted me a selfie in a new dress and asked 'Does this dress make my butt look big?' I texted back 'Nooo!' My phone autocorrected my response to 'Mooo!' Please send help." *There* is a dead man walking.

    Explanation: this Panda hasn't read the title properly and texted the wrong person.

    Actually, this happened fairly frequently. Once she surpassed herself and wrote "Retards, Martian".

    Dingo to dildo. At a school report in primary school. For some reason it had to be under a specific amount of letters

    So I wrote some stuff on BP and the "autocorrect" converted that into **** instead of **** because ***** is regarded **** for sponsors and thus we get this **** **** censorship. Oh, wait, funniest? Yeah, no fun about that, just ridiculous and annoying.

    I think I understand why BP tries to censor the rude words but even pre-teens know them and mentally substitute them right back in again
