Apple iPhone almost gets me a divorce!
So... My wife sends me a text:

Wife: Hi, do you want me to cook tonight?

Me: Nag, you don't need to cook.

So, as you can see, the wonderful auto-correct turned the more commonly used "Nah" into "Nag".

Thanks, Steve, for making my wife almost "Think Different".

This is hilarious and this just happened to me last night! My son (24) sent me a reply text to a question I asked him. (We both have iPhones.) His reply text states, "nag". I looked, looked again, had a flashback to teenage years, and then realized the autocorrect kicked in. He was also responding "nah" to my question! He actually called to apologize.

Haha, that is funny. The autocorrect feature insists that I am a fish "Tuna" when I type my name (Tina).

I sign my EMAILS to my wife "RD" for my initials but autocorrect changes it to "ED". She can't remember who Ed is or was.

Maybe they should have this as a fix for the 2.2 Update coming out next. Like, have it under settings that you can turn off autocorrect (I know Jailbreak has one, but for those who don't want to jailbreak)

HA HA! Got to verify what you type before you hit Send. I've sent msgs & tweets like that before (even with Twittelator's double action before sending)...
