Here's mine:

1) I always transpose "l" and "d" in words like would (woudl), could (coudl), should (shoudl).

2) "To the" always ends up "tot eh". Example: Let's go tot eh store tonight.

3) "is" sometimes ends up "id" which is super annoying because spellcheck doesn't catch it.

4) The one I'll never live down: I once submitted a cover letter for a job application with the following salutation: "Dear Sir or Madman". Doh. Didn't get a call back.

Above all else, my repeated and blind faith in "SIRI". I still dictate to my phone, and it not only gets many words wrong, it even makes up new words.

Client always comes out clinet.
Form instead of from.
Always double the letter before the double leeter (letter)
and my personal favorite:
incontinent for an incorrect spelling for inconsistent (Outlook's Spell Check) did it twice
:-O

It’s the ones that cause you the most embarrassment. Like when I instant message a coworker in my 70% female department “got a sex?”, or “are you busty?”

No doubt. I want a setting for my iPhone that allows me to tell the autocorrect that no matter what it thinks, i will NEVER mean "ducking."

New one for me that's recently cropped up is that I'm finding a lot of occurrences where I think I've typed "from" and it comes out "form."

I must type fuck a lot because my phone no longer autocorrects to duck.

That's my main typo. Virtually every time I type it.

Sounds like a hes a dick

But yeah,the good ole:fuck/duck and fucking/ducking gets me every time..my phone gives me more credit than I'm worth as I think it's trying slowly to teach me better etiquette and not drop the F-bomb constantly. Duck that is what I say!!!

I make these mistakes often. Luckily I check my work and catch most of them.

Esteban · 02-10-2023, 03:34 PM

But not all of them.

Serf27 · 02-10-2023, 11:01 PM

Typing “baby” too fast and it will be “Abby”.
So far I have caught it each time before sending it to my wife, who is not named Abby.

Has happened enough to be annoying/dangerous.

spazzyfry123 · 02-11-2023, 03:35 AM

“Cal” when I mean “call”

I KNOW I am typing out “call” on my phone, but I’m guessing I don’t lift my finger enough on the screen to double tap the “l”. It drives me up the wall.

Another is when my phone will automatically change a word that I intended to use into a different. Example I intend to use “well” but my phone will change it to “we’ll”.

I can’t seem to wrap my mind around where the “u” goes in “guarantee”. Same goes for the “i” in “convenience”.

Esteban · 02-11-2023, 03:42 AM

There's so many. Godamn autocorrect. It gets it wrong so many times.

CamasM3e93 · 02-11-2023, 10:19 AM

Dictated note was supposed to say: this is an 18 year old woman who is here to discuss birth control

Dictated note actually said: this is an 18 year old NUN who is here to discuss birth control

That little kernel is going to live in that lady’s medical record for decades. Oy!

I HATE THIS! Autocorrect used to correct your typos and now it’s changing the words for you!

Dang3r · 02-13-2023, 04:55 AM

A friend of mine got his first son years ago and he had texted right after his wife had given birth to the little man "we are happy and delighted to inform you, that our little Nazi had..." Whaaaat?

Cellphones autocorrection had not the Name "Maxi" and changed it to "Nazi". By far the best unwanted typo ever
