Spulling Errors can be sirius!

This week I found renewed belief if that old adage of read and re-read what you type because chances are you misspelled it or worse you type it correctly but the computer thought it knew better. Here are two examples...

As some will know quite a few people are leaving my company at the moment for one reason or another and I recently learned of another friend who had been "let go" this week.

I quickly txted him "Sorry to hear you have been made redundant." and signed it Rod. An innocuous enough statement of sympathy for my former colleagues plight... Just before I was about to hit send I glanced down at my signature and noticed to my horror that the autocompletion software had kicked in and replaced Rod with ROFL!

Also...

Lunching with my friend Cathy Browne can be dangerous for my profile. We spoke about Twittering and how she had recently appeared on YouTube having known more about Twitter than the presenter at a recent Twittering event in the valley.

Excited at the prospect of seeing Kathy on the 'Tube I got back to the office and typed in "Cathy Browne Twitter". I got nothing relevant so I quickly looked up the name of the presenter who was a guy called "Shel Israel" and typed that in.... YouTube is of course owned by Google and its mighty search engine looked at what I typed and decided to "correct" it. Well, I got to see a very unusal list of YouTube posts that I really hope to never see again!
