Website Features Best (Worst!) AutoCorrect Faux Pas

George McIntyre — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 16:20:12 +0000

I love AutoCorrect. I also hate AutoCorrect. If you're not familiar with it, AutoCorrect is software that corrects spelling errors on many modern smartphones and tablets. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, and although it's great for web surfing, its virtual keyboard is my enemy. Because of the location of the letters, "adopt" may get changed to "spot". "Question" becomes "quotation". The end result can be embarrassing. And hilarious!

Whether or not you use one of these devices, you'll appreciate this website. It's a collection of some of the ~~best~~ worst corrections this software has made, submitted by readers. Hit the jump for some examples, and the link. (And if you do have an iPhone, iPad or Android device, be sure to download radioPup - Cars 108's free mobile app.!)

It's the type of story that news outlets, big and small, tend to latch on to, and examine from every possible angle, ad nauseam.

Is this something that should worry you? No. Is it much ado about nothing? In my opinion, absolutely.
