A friend of DH who was visiting Phoenix, AZ sent him a text on Erev Sukkos last year, he asked me what do I think of his friends who sent him a really dirty text, I asked to look at it, it read:

Good Hot t*ts from Phoenix.

A typo from another thread, but let's blame it on auto-correct anyway:

this is an awful epidemic, ESPECIALLY in the drum community

And now there's the "forum married woman"

I don't have texting, myself, but I remember once a friend was talking to me on facebook about Shabbos plans and her phone turned "cholent" into "Cullen's" and turned her daughter "Chana" into "challah" - oh and my husband showed me a text that he got - something that was SUPPOSED to be about chicken breasts which got autocorrected to "chicken breastfeeding."

At the end of my sister's wedding, the immediate families of the chosson and kallah were packing out of the simcha hall.

My father sent his brand-new son-in-law a text: "Do you have the kesubah?"

Only, thanks to auto-correct, it arrived as: "Do you have the lesbian?"

Way to scare a guy the night he got married...

I once texted my friend: can't wait to see you arson!

I have a lot of other funny ones, I just can't remember right now.

He must've misspelled kesuba with an L intesd of a K, they are next to each other. (Yes, I tried it cuz I was curious how lesbian gets to kesuba, and I made the same spelling error.)

Just had one yesterday. Autocorrect changed Holland to Homeland. Holland is not my Homeland!

I hate to interrupt but is there some way to add words to your personal iphone/ipad autocorrect? Even ancient dinosaur MS Word let you add words to your spellcheck dictionary. This should really not be that difficult but I haven't found the trick yet. I still need to back up and retype my own NAME several times a day. Seriously, it should figure this out automatically after I've written it so many times, but at least manually there should be a way?
