I write a lot of my posts & replies from my phone while nursing DD1 or sitting with DD2 for quiet time. My phone hates me. It auto-corrects EVERYTHING. I'm thinking I might just start leaving my replies like that. Some of the things is writes are hilarious.
Oh yeah - autocorrect is great for some things - but others it is totally off! I think Ellen has a segment on her show that shows crazy autocorrect stuff that has shown up on people's phones. It's hilarious!!! Yesterday I had one autocorrect "crockpot" to be "crackpot"!
Like lshoes, that website makes me laugh until I cry. Some of my autocorrects are hilariously bad and others are just hilarious. Most of them come from all the time I've spent discussing politics on CEP. I tried typing "hat" the other day and it autocorrected to "gay." Many words also get Autocorrected to curse words.
The most annoying is that "thanks" gets Autocorrected to "THABKS" every. single. time. and I can't seem to get my phone to lose that one no matter how many times I fix it.

I just asked H if his sister was keeping the baby or if he was bringing the baby "Herr." I missed the e button on my phone. It also autocorrected his sister's name to rash.
Or meanie. Changes to Melanie.
I had corrected ALL these things in my old phone. *grumble grumble*
This might be common knowledge (and isn't meant to sound snarky!), but did you all know you can turn off autocorrect?
I tried doing this and discovered that I have fat fingers and misspell words constantly. Autocorrect can be annoying, but it's better than the utter gibberish that results when I type without it.
