Have you ever tried to compose a text only to have it fill in a different word? And you erase it before you send, but when you try to type it again it gives you another ridiculous word? Â This just happened to me and I must have typed my word in about 5 times. Â My husband sent me a text with a picture of a kitty, and he said, “I made a friend!”. Â It was awfully cute so I tried to type back, “Awwwwww!”. Â Then I looked and it said:
Sewer!
I typed Awwww again, and then this:
Seesaw!
Crap. Â Really? Â I typed Awwww again:
Seedeater!
Crimeny. Â I tried again:
Sweaters!
Even though I was pressing “x” for the stupid words to go away, they still appeared. I’m just happy I didn’t hit send.
Of course, it could be worse. Â A few weeks ago I was skyping with a couple of friends, and one of them was on her iPad. Â My other friend was telling us something cute that her little girl said. Â Right after she told us, the first friend (with the iPad) said “ASSES!” Â We all laughed hysterically when we figured out she was trying to say “Awwww”.
And today I was picking my 15-year old daughter up from school, and she wanted me to come a little later. Â Here is how our conversation went (I am the green):
She totally did not even laugh.
The good news is we did stop to get Slurpees. I haven’t had one in years and it was quite refreshing!

ROFL! You really shouldn’t… 😉
Sewers is totally normal for “Aww” on the iPhone. That happens to me ALL the time. LOL
Oh good! I don’t feel so bad now!
LOL Too funny! The fact that your daughter didn’t laugh makes me laugh even harder.
I know! How could you not laugh at that? I was cracking up! Maybe she is all too familiar with my texts and they are only bothersome to her now 🙂
I am eternally thankful that my very basic phone does NOT have the predictive text feature! It seems like more of a pain than it’s worth!
Happens to me all the time. Having to retype the same word more than 4 times makes me want to just scream! Although I admit some of it is hilarious..
dont you HATE the smart phones auto fill? Never near what you meant and sometimes the word that comes out is pretty hilarious!
I hate it but it also amuses me! It can be pretty embarrassing sometimes though (depending who is on the receiving end 🙂
SOOOO funny! That autofill program is DANGEROUS! and funny! LOL
I happens to me also, pretty annoying.
Texting can be sooo frustrating!

LMAO! I finally got a smart phone and then was convinced you should not give a smart phone to a dumb blonde and then the auto fill thingy is absolutely hysterical my kids send me messages just to see if I can decipher them.
I tried typing something about my neighbor and it said (name) is dead. Nothing funny about that at all. She is very much alive. Thank goodness I reviewed it before I sent it/
LOL thanks for the giggle 😉 I haven’t had a slurpee in probably 15 years!
I use to think some people couldn’t spell when I’d see words mistyped in comments on Facebook. It took me awhile to know why.
