If you’ve ever quickly sent a text and relied on autocorrect to fix your mistakes, it’s very likely that the technology “ducked” up. From turning a gentle “haha” into an aggressive “HAHAHA” or completely altering the meaning of your message, autocorrect seems to have a mind of its own. Below, we’ve gathered some of the funniest autocorrect fails people have shared on X, so enjoy scrolling through, and remember to always double-check your messages before hitting “sand!” I used to hate how often it would change words that I typed to “duck” or “ducking,” so eventually, I made a “shortcut” in my phone that would change “duck” to what I actually meant. (You know, luck.) This worked well for a while, until I moved to a home on Duck Lane. Then, I had to remove that shortcut to ensure that I didn’t tell people I lived on a very vulgar sounding street. Most of us have a love-hate relationship with autocorrect, or should I say “love-hare” relationship? But we continue to use it because we’re creatures of habit, and if we turned it off completely, most of our messages might turn into incomprehensible gibberish. That, or we’d have to spend 5 minutes crafting a simple text in the same way that my parents do. But despite how reliant we are on spell check, many of us don’t realize how much we need it. Nearly 50% of people believe that they never or almost never misspell words when they write, and nearly half believe they rarely misspell words when typing and texting.
