Tears in my eyes, that is so funny.
OMG! I am at work laughing hysterically… if only i had an iphone to actually experience these things!
hahahahaha that is hilarious, what a great host!
Best one yet!! Love the response.
lol that couldn’t have happened. F-E-L-L-A-T-I-O has 8 letters, while G-E-L-A-T-O has 6. I can understand someone mistakenly adding a second ‘L’ to Gelato, but not an ‘I’ that doesn’t belong. Especially when it was spelt correctly immediately after.
Wow this is late and all but if I remember correctly, iPhone’s software involving their autocorrect replaces a word with a word they think may be more suitable based off of other usages of letters and words. considering gelato is much more rarely used with the current generation in comparison to felatio, it does make sense that it had the higher chances and thus priority. T9 From T-mobile and other phones would use the number of letters as well as adapting to a new dictionary in comparison to whatever program apple uses. Basically its a raunchy version of Microsoft Word’s spell check. Even though it may not be the same length, the corrected word is changed to reflect the possible and probable interests of the party. Although considering how late this is you won’t care xD
Yes this can happen. I had my iPhone change the word “x-Ray” into “crayola”.
Must be a newer iPhone model. Mine didn’t have the word in the dictionary initially.
Even funnier – that means he/she had entered fellatio into their dictionary previously…
Who says fellatio anymore?
Nice Bob! Best of the whole string.
My droid has popped off with a few classics too. Made even ME blush!
The autocorrect on my first-gen iPod Touch would only correct to same-number-of-letters words, but I’ve noticed on my iPad it seems to throw in longer words a lot longer words now, actually taking more of a guess at what it thinks you might have meant if you’d missed or typed extra letters.
As for being spelled correctly after, all you have to do to get it to show up right is be sure to to tap the little “x” on the autocorrect window before it corrects it.
Many autocorrect programs don’t match up the # of letters in a word, otherwise words that were misspelled by letters being left out would never be corrected.
Ya buy the premise, ya buy the bit. Fuck off.
well, its possible cuz the i is next to the o…duh
[...] LOLCats site, but pretty funny nevertheless. I suppose it’s useful mostly as a warning not to invite someone over for gelato unless you’ve really thought things through. Then again, anyone who’s listened to [...]
Fellatio is in the dictionary, and I’ve never used it in my texts. Also, this one is pretty easy to duplicate. If you hit F instead of G (which are next to each other) and I instead of O (which are also next to each other) – Fellati – and then space, autocorrect will give you “Fellatio” (not literally, of course).
“not literally” lmao
damn … i was gonna buy an iphone …. but then ….

LMAO! the funniest part was the sarcastic response, “Well, at first I was all for it, but then”. LOL, he was crushed that there was no real offer of fellatio . . .
This site is the best ab workout ever.
Hee! So true!
