Does auto correct sometimes get you in trouble?

I was commenting on Facebook that I was excited about an upcoming concert. (Excited because I haven't been to one in years). Anyway I typed, "I am excited!" Later, I went back and saw comments. My granddaughter thought I was using slang for the word damn because auto correct misunderstood me, I guess maybe I didn't space between the I and am. What it did come out as was, "Jam excited!"

Ahhhh! I don't think she has ever heard me cuss. ;-)

    That is so funny. I type & I am reading a book & watching tv & on the phone at the same time so I can only imagine what words have ended up on my messages that were not supposed to be there. It's not a problem unless you care that otheres think absolutely crazy. Jam exited for you about the concert.

    hmm, if its jurking whilst it shifts, and if it takes a on a similar time as to shift into force or opposite from a ineffective supply up (extra effective than a 2d) or you ought to step on the gas for it to shift from a ineffective supply up, than the main possibly element that's, is it desires transmission fluid. have you ever or your mechanic examine the transmiision fluid point. If he says it desires to get replaced, then replace it. its not likely its a serios situation, the vehicle only has 52k

    Auto correct makes me crazy especially in Word. Before I type a Word document I make sure that the only things auto correcting are Spell Check and Capitalize first word in a sentence basically. I know how to type a letter and I know what words I want to use and don't want anything changing my format. Even the spell check just notifies me, their idea of fixing something usually has nothing to do with what I am trying to say.

    Things like auto correct and spell check are only meant to be tools and are not the last word on anything. I hate auto correct and even get annoyed with Google when they try to anticipate my every whim. Back off, G-monster!
