Miscellaneous Spelling Auto Correct of the Week

[Pete Thomas]

I sent an email today to somebody in which I mentioned Pat Methane

How apt.

If you google spell check funnies there are some howlers. I won't add a link 'cos some of 'em are rude

 

[Pete Thomas]

Well, you could give us the actual versions so we can find out the spellchecked versions of the rude ones. Mods won't mind that will they?

Dyslexic?

several years ago...15 to be precise, my spell-checker insisted on auto-correcting the name "Damian" to the word "daemon"
Since I was going through my divorce at the time, and that name was rather relevant, it always made me smile in some very dark moments!

Lets not go there, too many unprintable similar substitutions it could have made.

I just get wonga turned into conga.

Don't make a song and dance about it.

My phone insisted on turning my 'bass clarinet' into the utterly baffling 'bass camboc'.... sounds like an obscure african vegetable- camboc and okra stew...

One of the guy from the marketing department was texting me about one of the modules I needed to test, the text says "How does the armpit simulator work?"

He then realised the mistake and said it was auto-correct. The correct word was "armour" but seeing as the iPhone was an American citizen, it has decided to correct it to either "armpit" or "armor" without the 'u'.

I always tell people they should use the czech speller.

Today's Auto Correct of the day is ski elf (should have been in spite of)

 

[Moondancer]

Both my phone and the Mac insist on correcting "panto" to "pants". The ol' Windows machine doesn't mind panto. Perhaps it's age-related?
