I think autocorrect is out to destroy me.
It’s like that BFF you had in high school or junior high that acted like they wanted good things for you but secretly hope you’ll fall flat on your face in a skirt in front of the football players. And laugh when it happens.
Not that I have personally experienced that…
It helps me when I just can’t remember a spelling so I look smart or at the very least semi-coherent. But suddenly it will turn on me and just put in pure ridiculousness. I’ll even share some examples.
Aren’t you so glad?

I promise, Mr. Autocorrect, I can look like an idiot all on my own. I certainly don’t need your help. Ask anyone.

That is awesome! I laughed until i cried.
Hahaha YES!! I agree 100%!! My favorite one for me was when I said I'm so proud of my sins!! What I wanted to say was I'm so proud of my son's!!! You gotta love that spell check.
Barking in Ithica - hysterical. Posting 2 days in a row? - Priceless.
You forgot the text you sent me that said, "I forgot I was gnats look for tap shoes, i might have some." hahaha! I am enjoying trying to decode what you really mean to say. Too funny!!!
I can't remember what I was saying but it tried to correct to klainsmen- luckily I caught it before it went through :)
I laughed until I peed! No, really!
Hahahahaha!!!
The voice feature isn't any better than auto correct for me. My daughter once texted me from school that she had to stay late for an orchestra practice and asked if I could bring her something to eat. I was driving so I voiced a reply, "Dad will bring you a hamburger." Seems it was interpreted instead as "God will bring you a hamburger."
She thought I was serious and was not amused. "Thanks a lot, Mom."
