The Perils Of My Phone Autocorrect Option

My phone autocorrect option is on crack, I swear. You wouldn’t believe the word corrections it offers up to me. I mean, I’m no Grammar ninja, but I know a thing or two about vocabulary and Grammar use.

Earlier, I was writing a post and wrote micropoetry, instantly my word was autocorrected to micropenis! Not cool. I mean, you’ve gotta be kidding me. Good thing I always reread everything a few times before submission, or some editor out there might have been thinking, what?

Can the tech gods and goddesses come to my rescue and sort this wonky nonsense out? I’d rather not have the darn thing, rather than having to battle with it about my choice of word. This is why I say in some ways advancement and tech has made life more complicated.

Dear phone autocorrect option,

Please keep your nose out of my business. And for the millionth time I write mostly in British English where my mum will never be a mom, and cosy will never be cozy!

Does your phone autocorrect option piss you off too? Do you play virtual tango with trying to rewrite misspelled or misinterpreted words? My comments area is waiting for you to unleash your fenestrations oops I meant frustrations.
