I was following up on one of my customer's installation when I saw DH was rescheduled.
So I emailed the office "Is she still credited to me?"
So Autocorrect changed it to "Is Stalinism credited to me?"
I certainly hope not! |

So, autocorrect has Communist infiltrators? That would explain much… |

There can be no other explanation. |

I still fondly remember the spellcheck on the old greenscreen Amstrad word processors. It would without fail turn me into Demonic Skeleton…. |

Wordperfect didn't recognise the name Rodney, it always tried calling our chief designer Rodent. |

Auto-correct on other's peoples phones insults me all the time. My name is Richard, I have had in more then one occasion, gotten a text that starts "Hello Retard" * It's a conspiracy I tell you!!
* Yes, I checked, no people are not sending me texts with "Hello Retard" and blaming it on the auto-correct.

Not an autocorrect fail, but fat fingers on my part. I was responsible for arranging some training for a clients new office. The receptionist was due to get a set of bespoke training and the office manager was keeping tabs on who had been attending sessions and hadn't. The receptionist was also responsible for ensuring that the furniture was delivered, the movers were putting all the crates in the right place, answering staff queries and a million other tasks. As a result we kept having to move her training. I sent a text to the office manager saying that as a result of the workload I hadn't been able to schedule her session in but I would do and that I really wanted to find some time to check in with her because I had heard how busy she was. One little extra letter.. "…and I really want to find some time to check in with her because I've heard how busty she is." |

Woman newscaster told a story about auto-correct. A friend of hers had both a new suit and a new girlfriend. She texted him "How's the new suit?" It went out as "How's the new  ?" Edit: that would be a word starting with s that indicates a woman of easy virtue. My goodness, what ain't allowed here. |

Maybe she was!
For some people that's a plus. |

One generation of mobile phone did not have the letter 'b' in its spell checker and refused to let users add words starting with the letter 'b' – so you couldn't send a message to Bob to see him Before the Big Bash for instance. And the spell checker was on by default, took several menu selections to turn it off – for every message. I got a new 'old' phone shortly after. |
