With auto-correct now seemingly standard in every device we get our hands on, what is the most embarrassing, humiliating or just plain nonsensical thing it has ever made you appear to say... And were you able to catch and correct it before you hit the send button?

Well, I've never had it happen to me (yet), but my dad sent me a text not too long ago that said he was going to the bar to "indulge in some beaver and pretzels."
When I told him that was definitely TMI, he was like "No BEEER and pretzels! Fuckin spellcheck!"

I don't have anything that does auto-correct, thank goodness; I hate when something tries to "think" for me! I spend too much time tweaking stuff that came pre-programmed with the most popular functions or selections!
Sorry, I didn't add anything to the discussion. I just opened it to see what it was about & read that hilarious answer by Alan & Michele, so I had to comment.
This is a great question; I'm definitely going to set alerts for this one!

Following one of the winter storms and flooding, a friend texted me to complain that "downstairs smells like rotting vaginas," which turned out to be her phone's best guess for a misspelled "vegetables" - which does make me wonder, why does auto-correct have such a filthy mind?
I know a lot of people do use their handhelds for sexting, but must the software assume that's all we want it for?

Thank goodness I don't use predictive text on my phone. LOL. I've escaped the embarrassments so far *knock on wood*

Instead of "I rarely make it through her entire post" my phone autocorrected to "I rarely make it through her entire pussy."
Phones are filthy-minded.

LOL!! They *do* seem to be dirty minded, don't they? You know the bad part is, I've heard that a person can set words in a cell phone's spell check so it changes certain ones to others. I don't know if that's true or not (our phone doesn't have spell check), but if it is can you imagine what that could mean if a prankster friend got ahold of your phone and set a few common words to be changed?

Oh the iPhone autocorrect is the worst. Mine always corrects "food" to "good" or "have" to "gave." Sometimes I'm just like "Really, iPhone? I think I know what I meant there..." I usually catch autocorrect before I send a message so I can't remember any funny ones of the top of my head.

I have Swype on my phone and I don't always double check to make sure what I typed made sense. Thankfully, the one that would have been awkward was caught before I hit send.
My dad was coming to visit me in the hospital and was already on his way. I had recently switched rooms and my pens were lost in transit. Since I was doing school work (finishing my last semester of college at the time), I needed a new one ASAP. I was texting and typed "Do you have a porn in your car that you could bring me?" I caught it right before I hit send.

When I was first adding my email addresses in to my phone, it decided my email address was really "orgasm". Still not sure where it got that from.
