This is not a TH only thing,  situations from anywhere!


Go and share some funny things that you remember. I do typos A LOT because of the autocorrect and definitely had some embarrassing situations because of it. The things I can remember are when I wanted to sent back a message to friends and family and it automatically wrote pretty sexual things for no reason . Sadly I don't remember the exact words ahhhah .. but it was pretty bad( still kinda funny) . Most of the time I noticed it before sending the message luckily.

Quiet often I find myself fighting with autocorrect, it'll eventually let me write the correct word I want but autocorrects it right as I hit send. 

A recent example of that was on Discord when my phone kept autocorrecting a word to the incorrect spelling (that it only picked up because I typo'd the word a few times by mistake). I ended up re-posting that word to the correct spelling 3 times, fighting with autocorrect all the while (took 9 attempts of writing it out) before giving up. The annoying thing was it was just one letter that was wrong and I'd deleted what I'd written before I finished the word when I realized I'd typo'd again.

I have a German keyboard on my phone for language learning. Autocorrect sometimes changes failed attempts to English spellings - sometimes it gets the right German word, other times it's way off and I don't even know what the German word autocorrect picked as a replacement means and it sends before I can catch it.

My phone refuses to let me type my brother's name without it autocorrecting. It's a common name too with traditional spelling so I don't understand why it insists on 'fixing' it. It's lead to a lot of weird misunderstandings. Especially when my friend group is meeting up.

One time it changed "non-mammalian" to "non-alcoholic" when I was talking about a character's boobs

My best friend had a lot of weird moments because of autocorrecting about a year back. The one that refuses to leave me is the one time when we were roleplaying (as we did all the time back then), he tried to type "[character name] lands on the ground" and "ground" decided to autocorrect to "groin". Like, what- How and why did that happen? It makes me chuckle a bit when it randomly decides to come back to mind, though.

Auto correct won't let me cuss. Ever. I have to manually correct from duck every single time. So I've started saying duck Irl as a joke too.

It also "corrects" both me and my brothers names to different words all the time.

Having a conversation about next years protocols for school housing with my boss… phone autocorrects “maybe” to “master” so instead of saying “yeah maybe” I said “yeah master”

Needless to say I apologized and then died inside for like 3 days afterwards lol
