Auto-correct on the iPhone can be pretty funny or scary sometimes...

Divorced

Excerpt from Cory Watilo's post:

iPhone faux pas

"If you use a touchscreen phone, chances are you've sent a text message saying something you didn't intend to say, thanks to the sometimes overly ambitious auto-correct.

Recently I've tweeted some iPhone auto-corrections that I've come across, and some friends have @ replied with ones they've encountered. Here are a few:

psd --> LSD
iOS --> UPS
podcasting --> Piccadilly
awwwwwwww --> seedeater
swimmer --> Weinberg
hahaha --> habanera

But none of these beat the list published by damnyouautocorrect.com in November. Check it out.

The moral of the story is... always double-check your messages before sending, or your recipient might be a little confused."

Thanks for the humor and good advice, Cory. http://watilo.com/
