(I was motivated to post this because earlier today I commented on the Strait of Hormuz. My playful autocorrect changed Strait to Straight.)
Happens to me constantly. 😉
I’ve noticed something and just recently as in the last 16 months. I will type a word CORRECTLY and the auto spell will suggest a word spelled INCORRECTLY.
I thought AI was supposed to increase intelligence.
I disabled autocorrect for just this reason. I can make my own typos, thank you very much. And I make far fewer than autocorrect.

Yes, I brought my epic penis.

Uhhh, come again?
There was an Executive Secretary of a San José, Kalifornia firm that almost earned termination via autocorrect.
At the bottom of memo/letter, was supposed to be the phrase “Si Se Puede.”
The one time the Exec secretary did not proofread enough, autocorrect had changed it to Si Se Puked.
My Microsoft spellcheck’s “Woke” feature told me not to call a lease a “master” lease and told me that calling a contract “invalid” is offensive to disabled people. No lie. I finally figured out how to turn it off.
Years ago, my girlfriend’s granddaughter fell from a counter and cut her forehead. She texted me while in the ER that she was expected to be fine and recover quickly.
I responded: “I hope she does.” but autocorrect changed it to “I hope she dies.”
My finger was a micromillimeter from hitting send when I noticed.
I’ll keep saying it: Autocorrect, sometimes your fiend, sometimes your enema.
I deactivated autocorrect. I also found if I type with both feet on the floor (not crossed) I type more accurately. No joke.
My autocorrect often changes my last name to “Nauseated”.
And when I texted my brother that our sister had docked in Seattle, “docked” isn’t what what was on the screen.
This is why I hope and pray for the return of tactile keyboards on cell phones. You have better control.
Is grandma coming?
I would ask her but she’s in the grave
The grave? What, what are you saying?!
The garage. Damn autocorrect
Oh, thank you for the humor! I have been laughing out loud and wiping tears away.
