Don't you find that autocorrect is a real pain in the neck sometimes? It was invented to help us but sometimes (too often in my opinion) it alters what we type and turns into something rude, embarrassing, awkward or just plain wrong! Have you ever been caught out by autocorrect?
We collected only funnyAutocorrect jokes around the web. Enjoy the best Autocorrect jokes ever!

YES and I turned it off, it wants to correct my words in English when I am typing in French or Italian.

@ScotMac I preferred to turn it off, at least I do not come out with embarrassing words.

It isn't perfect but neither is it necessary for most people

A lot of times, I do love auto-correct. It tends to correct a lot of spelling mistakes I would otherwise miss, or cut down on my typing, but it's also changed words and confused a lot of people, too.

@ScotMac LOL I actually keep it, because it does help with my spelling sometimes. Unless it gets it wrong. Then that's just embarrassing. Auto-correct actually comes in handy when I compose e-mails on the 2 in 1. The keys don't have as much travel as they used to be, and sometimes I have to hit a key twice for it to work. This keyboard has seen better days. No surprise, the computer is at least 10 years old.

Oh, yes. I hate it sometimes. I have to check oftentimes if my sentences are correct just in case the autocorrect changes my words.

Sometimes it sure can be a pain but usually it is very helpful especially for horrible spellers.

A lot of times I will just let the mistakes remain--you know what I am talking about!!

Auto correct changes the context of my writing. Sometimes it turns out odd and other times you couldn’t understand.
