> I work for an insurance company and about two weeks ago went thru a browser update at work that means we now have Spell Check automatically enabled on the computer system used to access member information. I ended up repeatedly leaving notes on member’s accounts like “member was advised of how to _disembroil_” or “member cannot _disembroil_ without a valid election period” before I caught & added “disenroll” to the dictionary. :smack:

“Disembroil”? I would have thought it would jump right to “disembowel”.

I was texting with a fellow Doper a couple of months ago and told him that I was making BBW ribs (changed from BBQ). Hilarity ensued.

Also, I was texting with another friend about my weight loss, and I said that my boobs had deflated, and it said that my blobs had deflated. But strangely enough, blobs actually described them, so it worked!

A lot of _your_ problems will just be beginning when the nice guy with sunglasses comes to you door to have a little chat with you about that.

I texted my wife to say I was at the grocery store and that they didn’t have the brand of washing detergent we normally use to ask what I should buy instead and it autocorrected that to “You’re a hateful bitch and you’re ruining my life”.

Yes! I am always looking for creative euphemisms to use at work. “Holy flurking Schmidt” was getting old.

Classics nerds from the mid-Atlantic region will like this one: a few years ago, I was typing something about the Terps, and it auto-completed to “Terpsichore”.
