Trombones stop you flying?

I’m sure most of the members here have had issues with the autocorrect function from time to time. Vince is going to Thailand next week for a fortnight. There was going to be five in the party but he’s received word that one can’t attend because he has ‘trombones’ and can’t fly for six weeks. Of course, it’s meant to be ‘thrombosis’. Some autocorrects are embarrassing; some funny and some can cause real misunderstandings. Do you have a favourite autocorrect to share? The photo was taken near Salzburg, Austria.

I was thinking the picture looked like “The Sound of Music”. My favorite autocorrect is when I’d type in Amyra, it would change it to Amtrak. So basically, I’d text my niece and tell her I love a train system. The trombone is hilarious!

That's the sort of thing it does, isn't it? At least you'd be on the watch for that now.

The first thing I do with a new electronic device is shut off auto-correct. I hope Vince and the group have a good trip and enjoy themselves.

Luckily I turned off that feature because if my smartphone was not in its right mind then all the settings would be changed by itself.

I have not used autocorrect .The ‘trombones’ and ‘thrombosis’ are poles apart.

I hate autocorrect. I have to be so careful when I text on the phone. If I didn't pay attention to what I write here, the same thing would happen.

Oh dear ….an attack of trombones …! On a serious note, I hope his friend is better soon. Also hoping Vince has a great holiday. It’s not a place I have been to. I will try to remember some of the things The Mister has sent me in texts ….he doesn’t usually check and I have had some weird messages in the past.

I've turned off autocorrect on my devices, but have to say that the knowlege that someone was playing a trombone on a flight would put me off

Nice photo. I did have one that just occurred last week; but I can't remember it. Why is Vince going to Thailand if you don't mind my asking?

Some are crazy. What is Vince doing in Thailand? That's a long time to be gone.

I really do not have one. I can't spell or write for crap, but for some reason I always know to check auto correct, sometimes it gets me but I always go back to that word and like no, that is not what I meant.

I know we must be careful with computer auto-correct. I agree that some auto-correct are funny, but some very embarrassing. I turned my auto correct off, because it wanted to correct all my Italian texts into English.
