    Happened to catch a minute of Ellen the other day and she was showing these. They are funny.

    I've had a couple of similar mishaps, such as, "You've gotten yourself into a share of colorful situations" getting corrected to "You've gotten yourself into a share of colostomies".

    I don't understand why people can't take a second or two to proof read what they type out. It saves you from looking like a complete moron. I have no problem with the iPhone's auto correct feature at all.

    #4 and #10 are the best. I'm seriously going to use the phrases "I have a bad case of the manboobs" and "Ducking phone, my black penis!" from now on. :lolol

    I turned the autocorrect off the third day after I bought my iPhone4 last year. Because spending mere few secs to proofread won't hurt at all.

    And I'm fairly certain that most of those iPhone autocorrect jokes on the interwebs are made up & intentional.

    Well this, and why people wouldn't simply turn off such a pointless feature is beyond me. However, I suppose I'd also ask why people would wanna type on a 2 inch keyboard to begin with, thus trying to apply logic to an illogical situation is a flawed concept in itself.

    Stay classy, post year 2005.
