I am thankful for spell-checkers. It's true. I just ain't a natural born speller. In this day of smartphones, texts and tweets, I sure put it through its paces too. Sometimes it fails, miserably. Just today I got a reply to something I sent out that read "mfp?" I don't even know what I was trying to type, but not that. I sometimes wonder if I'd do better turning auto-correct off and going with the genuine typos. But I'm a really bad speller, and lazy, and my texts and tweets are SO important to the world that they must be transmitted without delay! So I let the spell-checker do it's thing and then blame it for any mistakes.
Imagine my delight when I happened upon this web site just now. If you can't: I was totally delighted. In fact, I laughed so hard it hurt. This problem with auto-correction seems to be so rampant that there's an entire web site dedicated to documenting the darndest things auto-correct makes us say! It's the most hilariously laugh out loud, gut busting, eye tearlingly funny, thing I've read in a long time. If you have a few minutes, this is good stuff, check it out.
