Ugh using my smart phone for my computer & the small finger keyboard weird typos are always coming out.

I also have no idea why I seem to type "me" instead of "my"....the letters aren't even close & it sounds so STUPID in the sentence.

I have autocorrect disabled because it was causing me more work than help.

Once I was reading an article about a medical emergency and it said, “The patient lapsed into a comma”...

I don't text a lot. When I was still fairly new, and at work, I wanted to meet up with a co-worker for lunch in the breakroom to chat.

I wasn't yet familiar with the joys of autocorrect, and that I needed to visually verify what I had typed...

So, instead... I texted that I'd meet her in the bedroom

When she pointed it out, I literally did this:

Oh... the embarrassment!
Thanks for this!

I have seen it in some articles published online. It seems a lot of people don't know the difference between "dessert" and "desert". And spell check won't catch that. Also people don't know the difference between "to" "too" and "two" or between "there" "their" and "they're"

one of my friends had dyslexia (she still has it, but I don't know her anymore)

I didn't know about the condition- she got a few words wrong (for example paul and pool she'd get mixed up), one day she told me and I realised how hard it must be. since then I helped her with the alphabet and spellings.
Thanks for this!

I am a fairly superstitious person. One time autocorrect changed something I was typing from “my mom said” to “my mom died.” It was slightly unnerving.

Also I had something autocorrected to “dats lesbian.” I was not typing anything like that at all.

A couple months ago I had something autocorrected to “Rory Kennedy.” I was not even typing a person’s name let alone a Kennedy. I had to google who that was since I had no idea who Rory Kennedy was. I worry a lot that my phone is going. I don’t want to buy a new one.

I type "me" instead of "my" and I always feel Irish when I do that.

I always spell gaurd instead of guard and I'm always confusing I before E except after C.

For whatever reason, I spell a lot of words the way the British write them.

I always feel like Mr. Krabs from Spongebob when I accidentally type me instead of my.

I do typos frequently. Some are so bad I can't get the dealie that offers spelling of similar words to make any suggestions, LOL

I ADORE Autocorrect, Omg, I have seen some that left me gasping for oxygen.

For example:

typos

I rarely text as I tremmor which makes typing on a wee little key pad near impossible. As for when on the computer, my spell check doesn't work so I am flying by the seat of my pants.
