Damn You, Auto Correct! Just Thought I'd Share

Maybe I'm the last person to discover this site, but if not, I want to share it with you.  While I was stuck in the house with a raging sinus infection and a sick kid to boot, I discovered "Damn You, Auto Correct" at damnyouautocorrect.com.  It is hilarious, but I have to give a heads up--do not visit the site if you are easily offended by foul language.  For anyone who is not familiar with auto-correct, it is a feature on iPhones and other touch-screen phones that tries to "guess" what you are going to type--and fix your spelling--before you finish typing.  This program exists to supposedly make our lives easier, but judging by all of the errors made by auto correct, this isn't the case.  Damn You, Auto Correct is a website that sees the humor in this.  I sat in front of my computer, on this website, and read through 19 pages of text messages that were auto-corrected.  All I can say is that the auto-correct feature shows us how there truly are imperfections in the technology that we use every day!
