Take this text exchange between Nick (my brother-in-law) and I after my sister had a car accident. He sends picture of her in neck brace, and I respond with a seemingly very insensitive "Sweeeet!" sentiment...but in reality that was just the iphone's interpretation of "Awwww..."
Nothing is more annoying than the fact that still, 8 months later, my iPad STILL autocorrects "hanson" to "Chanson". I mean, I get "sweet" to "awwww" because one is a sound and one is an actual word. But can anyone tell me what Chanson means? And why Apple keeps trying to screw me over. I can't tell you how many times I've emailed and signed off with my name as Chanson by accident. It can be really confusing for people.
Anyway, one of my new favorite 'pick-me-up' sites that I go to when I need a good chuckle is called: Damn You Auto-Correct.

Do you have any good auto-correct stories? I want to hear them!

This one isn't mine but it's my favorite I've heard (back from the GMI days) When Dyshaun Mohammud signed his emails, it autocorrected his first name from Dyshaun to Dishpan. Always makes me laugh.
Urban dictionary defines Chanson as:
"Chanson is distinguished from the rest of French "pop" music by following the rhythm of the French language, rather than that of English, and thus is identifiable as specifically French."
Ya know its like those frenchies have a different word for everything. Can't you turn auto-correct off in the default settings?
