I fucked up someone's name and almost called them Dong.

The fact that only 140 characters are allowed here is honestly so disappointing to me.

Another facebook moment I happened to witness: someone had reposted a comic portraying "busty girl problems", and in one of the comments "boobs" became books, leading to a woman complaining about how hard it is to find bras that fit her books.

In a conversation about music, "Put A Little Love In Your Heart" became "Put A Little Love In Your Hat". For some reason I like that as a potential song title.

That would actually be an adorable song.

This one happened a little while ago, but it would be a shame not to share it: one of the stations on the Toronto subway line is called 'Dufferin', and, as iPhones often botch proper place names, I ended up sending this jewel of a text:

I just got off at Suffering Station.

SwiftKey corrected Celica into Celiac.

I have disagreed with her a lot, but comparing her to republicans and propagandists of dictatorships is really low. - An idiot

Hell if I know what a Giraffidad is, but my phone apparently does.

I tried looking that up on Google, it says I must have meant giraffidae.

"My head is fine", referring to the thankful disappearance of a headache I had the night before, became "my head is gone"

This is a bit of a morbid one, so it's spoilered, but the person involved had a good sense of humor about it.

A friend of mine has a problem with self-harm. I tried to tell her "Remember the ice cubes" — squeezing an ice cube numbs her hand and calms the need — but thanks to Autocorrect, it came out as "Remember the Ice Climbers". I was worried she'd be offended/hurt by it after I realized the error, bit it actually got her laughing, thankfully.

This isn't mine, but my friend's. She went on a school trip to Germany a while back, and in every new city they got a new English-speaking tour guide. One of the many things their German guide was responsible for was taking the group to Dachau (a concentration camp), and she wanted to have the group's phone numbers in case anyone got lost. On Android, do you want to know what her name autocorrected to? Ms. Swastikas.

That's absolutely beautiful.

I recently had "any plans for the future?" Autocorrect itself to "ant plants for the future".

A terrifying prediction indeed...

There's nothing wrong with necroing this thread, right?

Anyway, I was just writing my fanfic on my iPad. I tried to write "Kazuichi swallowed the bile in his throat"...

...but my iPad's autocorrect changed it to "Kazuichi swallowed the bike in his throat".

The fact that this character is a mechanic only makes it funnier. [lol]

My phone turned “bites” into “notes”. The weird part? I actually did mean to write “notes”.

Doubleposting because my phone thinks “development” is “heliocentric”.
