neilmc Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 It happens to us all, and sometimes it can be very funny. We use a messaging system between our team, and in our general chat room there is regularly some awesome auto corrects. The one that just made me laugh, I was talking about bitlocker, and it auto corrected to bootlicker, not the funniest but its pretty good. Any you would care to share? 1
hardtailstar Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Not one I personally have done but I have seen many say that wellies changes to willies. Think a few schools have had it happen to them when texting about bringing wellies into school as I seem to remember it posted by a friend on Facebook.
john Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 The original word you can guess but I can assure the world that Duck was not what I was meaning to type and neither did I want ducking! 1
3s-gtech Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 An old phone of mine insisted that 'Brecon' isn't a word, so would constantly nag for it to be changed to 'Creamo'. What on Earth creamo is I don't know, but it may have snuck through in one or two messages: I'm coming to creamo!
jmak Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 @Schoolcomms could do with adding wellies to their dictionary. We've had several near misses with asking parents to bring willies in! 1
Chris_ Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 I think I was texting something to the boss about a photographer, I must have mis-spelled it a little, but iOS then corrected it to 'hotdog rapper'!
fredbayker Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 I've got a mate who's name keeps being changed to 'Amos'
twin--turbo Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 We had a all I.T. plea this week..... The user probably ( if she knows ) would have loved Contextual Auto-Correct Dear Helpdesk, Please can somone reset my XYZ password as I seem to have licked myself out... A week later you can still here bouts of spontaneous chuckling as people recall the message, Somehow it's also made it's way round the rest of the organisation...
smurfomatic Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Not quite an autocorrect, but I'm prone to spelling mistakes when trying to type quickly. The worst is when I (on a regular basis) shift the "o" of "account" one letter to the left...it'll get me into serious trouble one day!
