What does autocorrect say about you?

[GuiltyCowboy]

Mine keeps changing words to the names of people in my contacts

Pro-tip: if you put someone in your contacts called 'fuck fucking' then your phone will stop turning those words into ducks.

I need to stop using my phone on Lit, because I also use it for business. I am constantly having to double check my business and family related messages for words I use on Lit

I'm sure none of my students would be surprised by getting different e-mails from me...

I have a thick Jersey accent and voice to text sucks worse than auto correct

My wife and I communicate in a mixture of three languages. Autocorrect lasted about 10 mins on the first phone I had that offered the feature, and hasn't dared show its face since.

My first thought was "You moo?"

I live in a dairy state, what can I say.

My other bête noire is autocorrect giving me ‘punish’ when I was trying to write ‘publish.’ Just had this. It’s a big impact play fan.

Is there a correlation? Sometimes publishing is a punishment.

So today, I had auto-fuck-up change what was intended to be “clearly” into “fellatio.”

Should I be concerned?

 

[WittyUserName]

Earlier today I had what I intended to be ‘people’ turned into ‘protease.’

Does this happen to you too?

On my phone? A little.
On my PC? Autocomplete in LibreOffice is cruel.

Autocorrect is turned off on every device I own 'cept my phone, and it does okay most of the time since I write nothing other than short texts, like "I'll be home soon." Very little opportunity given for it to f*ck up.

Almost turned my wife's iPad into a frisbee when we were on trips and I was attempting to use it for writing. I love all this technology that thinks it's smarter than I am.

 

[Underscore_2]

Autocorrect is a freaking blight, but it does demonstrate that I'm better educated than a billion dollar large language bot.

It says I have a better vocabulary than it does.

 

[KittyOfSteele]

My fingers insist on writing ‘clinet’ instead of ‘client’ when using a physical keyboard (mostly for work).

My eyes autocorrect things sometimes. They insisted on reading "clitnet" instead of "clinet," and now I'm wondering if that's a good idea for a social media or not. Will men find it?

So today, I had auto-fuck-up change what was intended to be “clearly” into “fellatio.”

Should I be concerned?

Oh, shut up, you pervert! That wasn't an auto-fuck-up at all! It wasn't even a fuck-up!

 

[Rob_Royale]

My autocorrect thinks I'm a rather shitty typist.

I cannot type "the" to save my life.

That's actually pretty funny, though I'm sure it's frustrating for you.

What exit?

Those don't seem to be related.

There used to be a “god damn you autocorrect” site where everyone would post theirs. I don’t know why I stopped reading it. Probably got repetitive.

 

[Djmac1031]

Just yesterday I replied back to a coworker text asking me to do something for them with "one sec."

except of course autocorrect changed it to "one sex."

One sex is usually at least ten, sometimes even twenty secs.

Auto-correct? I've got four places where I've turned off AI, so now I haven't got AI. There is still something on the Internet or browser - I don't know what so I haven't been able to turn it off - that puts red squiggles under things. I hate it. But auto-correct? Something that actually changes what you write? I have literally never seen such a thing, even before I've customized anything by turning the garbage off. Why on earth would anything do that? Surely no-one at all would want that?

Auto-predict can be handy sometimes, but auto-correct, never.

In LibreOffice, every time I type "face" now it pops up "face-fucked" as a suggestion, despite me using it like, three times, maybe? So, yeah...
