Caroline was having trouble with a guy at work. He kept asking her out, and she kept refusing, because after all, she loved her husband. Then she went on a business trip. That night in her hotel bedroom she sat down to text her husband. ‘ Miss you darling. Love you. Xxx.’ And then she clicked the wrong button and sent it to the guy at work.
I once texted a friend of mine who happens to be black. When I looked at what I had written I was horrified to see that autocorrect had changed his name to ‘Darkie’! I quickly wrote a scrambled apology only to discover that autocorrect had changed his name again, this time to ‘Chalkie’! Fortunately my friend found the whole episode amusing.
