    I had auto-correct turn taco into taxi on me. I guess that is not half as embarrassing as the OP though...

    Good reason to turn autocorrect off. Some of these are spectacular.

    Funny if they really happened. I think most of them are probably faked.

    Case in point:

    Auto-correct would never suggest the word "fuck" as a replacement for anything.

    I am pretty sure the iphone uses adaptive auto-correct. So if you use a word a lot it will suggest that word as the correct spelling first. Thats why some of the suggestions are so funny on some of these.

    I'm pretty sure this is true - I'm new to iPhone but I have noticed strange things coming up on auto-correct, thankfully, nothing as funny as these.
