Dear Autocorrect,

My name is Alice, not Alive or Slice.

Thanks in advance,
Slice

@Alice 😂 my poor sister gets “evil” all the time (she’s Evie)
@Alice fellow Alice. My old boss used to mistype my name so frequently that he simply started calling me Slice.
@fluoronaut I mean, we’ve got to admit that Slice sounds way more tough than Alice.
@Alice when you work in telephone customer services it all helps.

@fluoronaut oh yeah, typos and auto-correct aside, spoken word is almost worse because every host at a restaurant thinks my name is Alex.

Probably the worst is when I received mail addressed to “LICE” and it was from my 401K provider so I’m just waiting for them to be like “This isn’t your money. This belongs to someone named Lice.”

@Alice ah one of my best friends calls me Lice so the money is probably mine.

Edit. Ha, mistyped my own name. Just call me Live.

P.S. never, ever Alison though.

@Alice @fluoronaut My dad's name is Dennis. He once got mail addressed to Penis. For real. This was before autocorrect, so I'm guessing somebody did it to be funny.

@Alice @fluoronaut

🎶 Go ask Slice —
When she's ten feet tall.

@Alice I am at a pizza restaurant and thought of you.
@Alice hahaha!. I’ve been cackling over this for a while.

@Alice EVERY SINGLE TIME I say "Dad", my (Android) phone types "dead" (I do NOT have an accent or speech impediment.)

Very annoying (either that, or my phone is possessed.)

@MugsysRapSheet @Alice My Kindle Fire does not believe have is a word and replaces it with habe (which to my knowledge is not a word) every time. I've tried telling it that habe is not a word, but can't get that to stick for longer than 30 seconds.
@HLGEM @MugsysRapSheet habe is a German word. I wonder if your Kindle is referencing the German keyboard/dictionary?
@Alice Slice McFlurry sounds like a badass name though.

@Alice my favorite autocorrect was when gmail signed an email from me, -Tablecloths

my least favorite was when I texted my MIL that her grandaughter wanted a "realistic duck" for Christmas except it changed it to something that rhymed with duck

@DrTCombs @Alice Yikes! It's usually the f-word changed to duck.
@FaenRis @Alice yes, which was part of the problem. I might have finally convinced my phone to stop censoring me at just the wrong moment 🤣
@Alice My wife nag (Ang) agrees wholeheartedly.

@Alice

Awwwww what a reminder!

Yet more evidence that there's never been any actual work done on Autocorrect beyond what little Jimmy Smithers did for his Grade School science project in 1985.

Since then it's been some dork in a tie holding a spreadsheet yelling "We Need Autocorrect" at some petrified intern.
That intern does the exact same thing as everyone else and downloads Jimmy's work and dorktiespreadsheetman is happy.

So we're left once again to use Jimmy's Autocorrect. Nothing against Jimmy, it's really a fine bit of work but Jimmy was 11 and he only had 2 weeks and it was during Soccer season.

@nlarson830 @Alice The existence of ChatGPT makes thus 10x as ironic
@nlarson830 @Alice Egads, my autocorrect has decided to show off its favorite bad substitution. Apparently I never actually mean to say "this", but rather "thus".

@Alice

Dear Autocorrect,

My name is Mari. Why, after years of not taking issue with it, have you suddenly decided that Mark would be a more appropriate name? Meanwhile, you still autocorrect actual words with the initials of a friend who ghosted me. Do you hate me?

Sincerely,
Mari

@Alice I get “Trivia” on my phone but also in emails TO me from other people 😂
Someday I’m just going to adopt it and let autocorrect win.
@Alice Could be worse, could autocorrect it to “a louse”
@Alice Alice "Slice" McFlurry, one of the unknown greats on the golf course.

@Alice My 1st name is Merlyn, not Merlin. I get mail/email assuming I am a woman.

Nope. I go by my middle name, Guy

@Alice I about shot myself when I read this.

@Alice

😂🤣😂🤣😂😅😅😅

@Alice Tell me about it.
Olive aka Clove.
@Alice Autocorrect, listen to Alone!
@Alice nice to meet you police
@Alice this made me cackle way more than it should!
@BrisVegas that makes me happy! I honestly hesitated posting because I was like nobody is going to care about my own struggles with autocorrect and my name, but then I was like eh just post it even if you’re the only person who likes it and here we are.
@Alice it literally did make me laugh out loud! I think Slice would be an awesome nickname too - it’s just one of those funny sounding words 🤭
@BrisVegas I know! Like, I will be the first to admit that Alice is not a very tough name. But SLICE?!?
@Alice @BrisVegas Sometimes the ones you don't think ppl will get turn out to be the funniest ones.
@Alice oh I’m peeing my pants 🤣🤣🤣

@Alice

Nice. Slice and dice, with Alice? 😉

@Alice I have the same problem when I try to message people about my cat. 😂
@Alice
Autocorrect: “D’oh!”

@Alice Pleased to meet you. My name is Devon, not Demon.

Kind regards,
Demon

@robotdiver Ohhh no. I’m so sorry, Devon!
@Alice My phone has been autocorrecting "Scott" to "Shit" for a while which, I have to tell you, isn't good for the 'ole ego.
@Alice Better Slice than Lice!
