I have dyslexia & I sometimes type certain letters in the wrong place like I sometimes spell Girlfriend with the I before the E like Girlfreind. The spell check on FireFox keeps giving me the word Reindeer today as my only option. I selected it a few times today cuz I'm used to the word Girlfriend being my only result. I wonder why my spell check is being a pain today cuz Reindeer & Girlfriend don't look much alike at all. I'm not so much complaining as find it kinda funny & weird.

If everybody had an ocean across the U.S.A., then everybody'd be surfing, like Californ-i-a.

You would say things like "My reindeer is taking too long in the shop. :(" and people would think you had a pet reindeer. :)

I like autocorrect. It has made me laugh and smile a lot. Whenever I try to type "You're welcome", it changes to "You're Eric", but I don't know anyone with that name. It used to change to "You're weird" a lot, which I had to quickly change before I sent it because it was for someone who worries about being weird. Other times, it has been "You're cute", and I don't know why because I've never sent that message. I change that one as fast as I can because that would be embarrassing to send.

The spell check my girlfriend has sometimes changes her words to nonwords. I wished spellchecks worked like Google because Google almost always corrects my misspellings to the rite word. When my spell check on FireFox doesn't give me the rite word, I copy what I typed & past it into Google & I get the word I want.

I used to write a lot of stories about characters or famous people from various countries. The spell check machine changed the names into completely unrelated words.

Spellcheck is out of its digital mind, I accidentally typoed "toafstool" instead of "toadstool" on my phone as is understandable the letters being next to each other, and according to spellcheck my only options were "boardroom" and "classroom."
Wut?
It also randomly changes perfectly serviceable words like "but" and "the" to things that make no sense in the sentence like "out" and "put." :scratch:

I used to write Wrong Planet as Worng Palnet so often that my spell check started to change the correct version to the wrong version.
