New Blog Takes on the Evil That Is Auto Correct

via Mashable! by Brenna Ehrlich on 11/8/10


Ever had one of those moments when — after painstakingly composing a text and sending it off into the world — you realize that your phone has completely mangled what you meant? Yup. We all have. Which is why the blog Damn You Auto Correct! is so hilarious.

This user-generated blog started buzzing around the Internet last week, and it’s still going on Monday. Why? Well, it’s basically like Texts From Last Night — but in this case the drunken, slurring idiot is not, in fact, you, but your smartphone (who sometimes seems like it’s out to get you).

Check out a few selections from the blog below and let us know what your more egregious autocorrect moments were in the comments.

Mine happened on the same day I got my Android — I was trying to tell my friend that I was, “Hanging out in the ‘burg” (short for “Williamsburg”). My phone, however, chose to tell her that I was hanging in the “buff.” Damn you, auto correct!
