    Too funny.

    I sent an email from my "smart" phone with auto correct. The woman's name is Tricia and she's the assistant to one of my clients. It was my first communication with her to gather some info..

    I start the email with "Hey Tricia!" and finished the email. As I hit the Send button, it briefly showed the beginning of the message, which "auto corrected" to:

    "Hey Trash!"

    I was mortified! Luckily, she has an awesome sense of humor and a similar smart phone with auto correct...

    LoL, I always turn autocorrect off, I have a hard enough time texting without something being so presumptuous as to re write my message for me.
    I am actually surprised the phone companies have not been sued over it, all it takes is someone (usually a loser) to claim their million dollar deal was broken because of autocorrect. In a country where you can sue after you turn your cruise control on and go back and make a coffee in your Motor Home and are surprised when you crash.
    It is a good thing she found it funny, I think most people these days understand the goofiness of phones, that was good one though...Trash...lol

    P.S Bane, your avatar trips me out

    LOL - That's funny!

    A similar thing happened to me. Unfortunately it was with my pastor. I was helping to organize a trip. I texted him to let him know that I was getting a bus. Unfortunately I missed the space between "a" and "bus", and my auto-correct changed it to anus. so I told my pastor that I was getting anus. Not good.

    Yikes! I would never even mention the word divorce. Yeah marriage is hard at times, but I have an awesome hubby. We just work at it. (Almost 12 years). We have two kids and it would devistate them if anything ever happened. I can't even think about it.

    Auto-correct is evil. I used to have a phone that had possibly the worst auto-correct in history...

    My brother once broke some of his toes playing rugger, I offered to drive him to the hospital.

    My friend texts me to ask if I wanted to meet for a 'working lunch' (read liquid lunch), I text back - "Can't today, taking my little bro to the podiatrist"

    He got - "Can't today, taking my little bro to the pedophile"

    Still haven't lived that one down.

      I've taken to sending messages with auto correct on and I don't correct the auto correct, the worse the better.

      Its a bit like sending zen koans and keeps people busy for a while trying to decipher my messages and then they get that AHA! moment.

      I have quite a few disciples now.

    I turned off auto-correct on EVERYTHING possible on my device. I hate it. As long as my digits work, I'll type it myself, thank you very much.
