Troper Autocorrects!

In the vein of the I Read That As thread, I thought a lot of amusement could stem from posting the funniest things your phone has ever tried to - or made you - say. Considering we're also extra likely to use words or phrases it doesn't understand...

To start, my phone once insisted that I meant Madonna instead of Madoka. It also always insists on typing JAVERT in all-caps, which is too perfect to re-correct.

Maximal girls.

(as opposed to magical girls ofc)

Mine has done some rather creative things with the names of Homestuck trolls. It seems to think that Vriska should be either "frisky", "risk a", or "brisket".

"I don't have to go to any more school events this sneaker semester."

Also, the amount of times autocorrect has made me say "duck" instead of "fuck" is absolutely ducking staggering.

I just remembered another great one I got - Usami became Islam.

No way, dechu!

On my tablet now so here are a couple more trolls: Market (Karkat), Teresa (Terezi), Erica (Eridan).

That was fun.

My phone corrects Abbot (Australian Prime Minister) to Assbutt.

It also corrects my friend Lara's name to "kawaii".

"Deziree" became "Disastrous".

For those who know who Deziree is, this is perfectly fitting.

I just had "tech demos" become "tech demons" while posting on this very forum. I think it's A Good Name for a Rock Band.

Not me, but... my mom once sent me this, while we were talking about Pokemon X And Y:

Whole horde gone, including the Seviper (NOT Recipe, dammit! DYAC!) I was planning to catch.

I was alone at home while texting a friend, and at one point she found something I said funny, and typed "I'm loling at you"... What autocorrect turned it into was "I'm looking at you".

Kind of related: While talking about Christmas, facebook autocompleted it and tagged Christopher Walken. I was amused enough that I did wish everyone a merry Christopher Walkenmas in my next status.

I've apparently typed "Hopey" so many times that my phone will sometimes put it in instead of "hopes" or "hoped". It also usually appears in caps.

"Wondering" somehow turned into"womeeting".

Whenever my name is enshrined in someone's autocorrect, it always invariably is in caps.

A couple of others I discovered:

Somehow, "toonboom" is a word on my phone. Imagine my mom's confusion when I accidentally said "I love you toonboom" via text.

I was just talking to someone over Deviantart, and "cryomaniac" became "crying Noah". Especially hilarious since the topic was Total Drama OC's.

The other night my tablet decided I wanted to say "killings" when I was trying to say "kittens".

Oh my God, I accidentally sent a note to Broc on Deviantart saying that EVIL notifications for FFN aren't working.

I just suggested someone to put airships in their hair.

I meant hairclips.

'Because' somehow became 'barbecue' when I was talking about a pet... I'm glad my phone has a sense of humor?

This didn't happen to me, but once upon a time someone I know was going to pick someone else up, and 'I'm driving in the car, I'll be there shortly' became 'I'm dying in the car, I'll be there shortly.'

My mom's phone makes me glad that I don't use a smartphone. Recently, she mentioned having been eating a lot of wheat box^note bix, of course, but I couldn't help replying with "Yum, cardboard".

And it turned "like" into "uke", though thankfully she managed to catch that one before saying anything particularly awkward.

Zarek's phone turned "crossdresser" into "crisscrossed". I'm imagining a guy in boxers who has been drawn on with a sharpie all over. :D

My dad's iPad autocorrected "privilege" to "Priceline" this morning when I accidentally ranted about how IE is the worst browser, I was about to say "oops my chrome privilege is showing" and then that happened.

My phone wanted me to say "duckling" instead of "fucking" in a text.

In a stranger's facebook comment I saw the word "boner" turned into "bonnet"^note the context was non-sexual - they meant to say they "had the biggest boner right now" about Glove And Boots working with Kevin Smith, but ended up saying "I have the biggest bonnet right not". If anyone runs a forum, I think that could have potential for Fun with Autocensors.
