Auto correct function on cellphone more like auto mistake function

Ever tried to text a message only to send the wrong message, making you think you should have not sent a message at all?

I was told about the website called "Damn You Auto Correct!" and there's some truth in there.

If you ever thought you were safe with your predictive text feature on your cellphone when composing text messages, think again. Even though you'd probably never make a spelling error, you have an increased chance that you wouldn't get your message through. This was because the predictive text feature would try to predict what you were trying to spell by the pattern of your keystrokes.

See below for the unfortunate (but funny) auto correct victims:










This hasn't happened to me personally because I know enough to set my sms composing options and turned off predictive text capabilities.

If there was one thing to learn here, that would be never to trust your cellphone's auto correct function (or computer's) and always check your writing by giving it a read :)

Happy textile texting.
