21 times autocorrect was a complete prude

Come on autocorrect, you know what we meant!

SOMETIMES AUTOCORRECT CAN be a terrible prude…

Cluster duck

Dear autocorrect, when you learn that 99.9% of the time, I don’t mean ducking?

Dear iPhone, here are three things I will never type in a text message: duck, ducking, and cluster duck. Thanks.

Maaturbating

it's unfortunate that autocorrect doesn't recognize 'masturbating' because 'nadtyrbating' and 'madturdatibg' just don't have the same effect

maaa

Also, autocorrect tried to turn “masturbating” into “nasty baying” so…yup.

Sensual and septic

More proof my phone is a prude: it tried to autocorrect erotic to septic...yes, I did mean "The story was very sensual & septic" Thanks
