There's language in it and a lot of unintended innuendo. But it was hilarious. So funny it made me very and totally made my day.
funny
lighthearted
fast-paced
I had already read or heard of most of the autocorrects in this short book , so it was a bit redundant. I did learn a few things about how autocorrect works, which was interesting. I needed it for a challenge on GR and thankfully it was a super fast read.
It was fun to read...definitely liked the facts that it had just a foreword and let's the images be funny by themselves with just a title...!
Never would I thought that “Damn You, Autocorrect” by Jillian Madison (based on the website) would be so amazingly hilarious! I was downstairs with a friend, looking at books in our apartment complex’s book sharing library, and thought I’d open the book and see if some of the autocorrections in texts were funny.
They weren’t. They were RIDICULOUSLY HILARIOUS! Like laughing so hard I was literally crying.
For instance (from the back cover):
Person 1: Don’t worry, seriously. He’s crazy about you and he loves you so much. He told me the other day that you’re the first girl he had ever thought about the fuhrer with. Xx
Person 2: WTF?
Person 1: Ok so that was supposed to say future… Damn phone! Xx
And (from page 62). . .
Person 1: Sext me. Right now.
Person 2: Ohhhh baguette
Person 2: hahahahahaha
Person 2: Babyyyy*
But what is autocorrect? For those of you who live under a rock, autocorrect is a software function that tries to correct words that are usually misspelled, and this mainly happens thought texting.
Most of the time, it works amazingly.
However, this book shows the consequences that autocorrect can have on conversations.
Now, I totally wouldn’t normally count something like this on my 100 Books in a Year list, but it’s 277 pages of hilariousness that I COULD NOT PUT DOWN! It even interrupted my reading of “Age of Miracles” that I had been dying to read and waited weeks for from the library.
Also, I’m listing this book as nonfiction. . . which is kind of funny, but isn’t it a real book about real autocorrect events????
I recommend this book to anyone who likes a humorous book! It’s a quick read and so worthwhile! ”Damn You, Autocorrect” is probably the funniest book I have ever read!
It also makes me wish I had more of an autocorrect story than changing “so” to “do.” That’s not a very funny one. But there are many funny ones in the book!
Share here your personal Damn You, Autocorrect moment!

comedy of errorrs! I was laughing all through. This book couldn't have come at a better time, I'm hospitalized and I need something to bring the smile back.This book tickled me like hell. If you want a good laugh and don't mind some swear words then pick it up with no second thoughts!
Do not read at work at the front desk!! I just did and I had tons of people looking at me funny! Holy Moly I was laughing so hard at this.
