*AUTOCORRECT

Autocorrect cracks me up but I know one day it’s going to come back and bite me in the butt. I text my 13-year-old sister in a completely different way than I text my grandparents or Bible study leader or supervisor at work, but autocorrect doesn’t realize that and it’s led to a couple funny instances. I text Anne “soooooooooooo” when I’m about to ask a favor or don’t know what I’m talking about and when I’m excited about something it USUALLY COMES OUT LIKE THIS (with tons of emojis as well). When I type out a message really fast and don’t check it before I hit send I sometimes end up telling my boss I CAN’T MAKE IT INTO WORK TODAY BECAUSE I’M SICK or I’ll send a kissing emoji to some random person I’m working on a group assignment with in class. I don’t turn autocorrect off because I know it helps me more than it hurts me– I’m a really fast but sloppy typer so I just aim for the general direction of the letter key I want to press and my phone usually figures out what I want to say. I just know soon I’ll end up unknowingly sending something that isn’t so funny or causes a huge misunderstanding, and then I won’t think autocorrect is that funny after all.
