I thought the same thing until autocorrect turned “GRRRRR” into “FERRETS” in a text I sent today. I’ve seen enough changes with autocorrect in the past few days to realize that more of these are possibly real than I ever imagined.
You have to realize it’s not spellcheck it’s predictive text. It takes what you’re typing and finishes it bases on your phones prediction of what the word is going to be. So it doesn’t have to be anywhere near what you’re trying to type.

I think some of these were done on purpose. How can those two words get switched? I’ve seen a few that were iffy.

Oh it can happen…once my mom was trying to tell me she bought “steaks” and it kept changing it to “fences”??!! WTHeck….
I don’t even have an iPhone, I have a Blackberry, but if I type “hahahahaha” it corrects it to “Haitians.”
