(65,330 posts)I assume "ou mine" was originally typed as "You mean," before your hyperactive autocorrect function got hold of it.
I saw a post on another thread in which "such a case of abuse" was turned into "sushi case of abuse"!
I have only recently realized how many weirdly worded emails I have sent out, knowing I typed the words I intended to say, but not realizing that autocorrect went all predictive on me and transformed my words into something quite other than I intended. For example, In the subject heading of one recent email, my reference to my daughters "most recent award" was turned into "most recent wayward."
In this very post, I had two words mangled--one twice--by autocorrect. The clause "autocorrect went all predictive on me" was turned into "autocorrect went all predictive on my," and the phrase "most recent award" was twice turned into "most rent award." I corrected the first one, and autocorrect changed it to "rent" a second time! I finally typed it into a "Word" document and copy-pasted the correct word.
I now double-check everything I type online--but I still miss some sneaky "corrections"!
