One of the things on my countdown to 30 list of Awesomness is to finally beat autocorrect.
And by that I mean actually proof read my posts a bit better.

Now my phone does some random things to me, like occasionally turning sideways,

And freezing in ridiculous places. Of which of course I don’t have a picture.

But the worst is by far the drama caused by Autocorrect. That little iPhone dictionary hates me and expresses its passion in a viciousness that invades every area of my iPhone socialness.
It’s so rude I tell you.

But don’t take my word for it. Oh no, I have proof.

There was the time I told my mother Taylah had a devoted cyst in her eye.

And devoted it was! It took antibiotics and drops to get rid of that thing!

I tweeted Rhi and asked if she wanted to get down with me and my homies in our gang

IG followers could be forgiven for thinking I was excited by bunny boogers.

Kimba’s Facebook status always get the better of me.
Repeatedly.

I had more examples but the phone ate them, in an effort to try and price it’s innocence.
Like I said, rude!!!

I never found out what was in this box, so I’m assuming Ai just tried to distance herself from me and my randomness.

Autocorrect ruins friendships people!

Thankfully Grace did forgive me for calling her a male chicken.

And just when I think I have got it beat, it includes the most random words.

20121018-192515.jpg
Unless anyone else Dorky’s in the kitchen?

Thankfully, I have surrounded myself with wonderful online friends who not only understand me, but speak my language as well.
Carly liked things a bit kinky. ;)

Daisy’s phone hates her as much as mind hates me.

20121018-193237.jpg
And Erin is a true friend indeed.

20121018-193310.jpg

So whilst it seems I have a way to go yet, in convincing autocorrect to forgive me for whatever sin I committed, at least I have a supportive network in place.
One that speaks AC as a second language.
There probably should be a class for that….

would you join an AC as a second language class in order to better understand me?
Do you have any hog chips?

  4. Hog Chips are those things you get at Hogs Breath restaurant with your steak aren’t they?
    I love this post! Since getting my iphone auto correct has been making me look like an illiterate idiot! I hate the bloody thing. And it seems my iphone has been talking to my work laptop and the stupid head has decided some of the keys wont work to add to my misery. I really hate technology sometimes!

  8. Loved this post, very chuckly. I LOVE that you gang at home, homie.
    PS Did you notice that in this very post Auto Correct just tried to “price” its innocence? Yes. right here. “priced” it without a shadow of a doubt. I know who *I* believe!

  9. HAHA yep Twitchy I was onto that too. That AC is trying to ‘price’ its innocence all over the shop. Sneaky bugger.
    Hilarious post. I personally love autocorrect. I leave them in on purpose. I do get a little upset when my husband’s always telling me he’ll do things ‘when he gets gone’, but otherwise it gives me a good chuckle. People already know I’m weird.

  11. Oh good – it’s not just me it attacks then!

    Yesterday it told my fiancé that I was enjoying the fact that my new… Brad… lifted my boobs.

    That led to a rather interesting conversation about the merits of a Brad vs a Bra… *sigh*

  12. You NEVER fail to entertain! This made me laugh so much.

  13. Haha! Yep it happens to me all the time. Best one I have seen was from me good friend. We live near Burwood in Sydney and she was out for frozen yoghurt at a place called Noogi and she sent me a text saying “Just having a noogi in but wood!!” Her iPhone corrected burwood to but wood! We still laugh about it.

  14. bahahahah not true!!! I did let out what was in that box! ;p
    anyway autocorrect hates me too :/ sometimes I read the comments I leave and somehow question if the writers think I was drunk when I wrote them! grrr #damnyouautocorrect

  17. Jess you know it would make me nervous if I got a message from you that wasn’t infected by Auto Correct. I would be worried someone had kidnapped you and stolen your phone!!!

  20. Oh Jess you always manage to crack me up :D As a new iPhone owner, I have made it my mission to train this darn thing to actually write what I want it to! If I correct a word twice after it wants to auto-correct it, it FINALLY likes my version and keeps it, remembering it for next time – HA I am so winning or perhaps I am just spending too much of my time on it :D

  23. “I had more examples but the phone ate them, in an effort to try and price it’s innocence.”

    Or did it try and PROVE it’s innocence?! I love that you have Damned Autocorrect in your post about Damned Autocorrect! :)

    In the end, you made me laugh so much I thought it would be rude not to eat hog chips – I ate the seaweed salad for breakfast! x

  24. If you have this much fun with autocorrect (well it was fun reading this!), I’d love to see how you get on over a conversation with Siri. That may well be amusing. Or try the iPhone’s dictation option. That might be even funnier! :-)

  25. I think one of my new years resolutions will be to not correct autocorrect for the whole year! Should be amusing!
