Poor Marco. He’s not even in the 2016 race anymore and he still can’t catch a break.
And that ducking sucks.
Yesterday the former presidential candidate misspelled the name of his own country in a letter sent to the Alaska GOP asking them not to release his delegates just yet. The United States of America suddenly became the “Untied” States of America – a name that is probably more fitting given the current state of the nation. Freudian slip?
But in Marco’s defense, typing is hard and I’m sure it wasn’t that intern’s fault for his inattention to detail – it was probably autocorrect and we all know how that can go…
He asked you nicely.
Dear #autocorrect: “facepalm” is now a word. Meanwhile, “faceplate” is barely still a word. Stop correcting this please.

That sounds dangerous.
Oh, #autocorrect. I really don’t want to ask someone if I can “hutch a rude”.

It’s basically the same thing.
My #autocorrect just changed “gps says I’ll be there in 15 minutes” to “God says I’ll be there in 15 minutes” #gps#God

That’s NSFW.
Thanks autocorrect for changing “my items” to “my uterus”, because I so frequently email work people about my uterus… #autocorrects#fail

That could get awkward.
Hey spellcheck, I said ‘it’s duck for dinner tonight.’
“Duck”
With a “u.”#autocorrects— Rory Underhill (@tisafinebarn) March 26, 2016
And finally some advice.
People struggling with #autocorrect, switch off #autocorrects!! A misspelled words are infinitely better than using the wrong words.

(Someone could use autocorrect for grammar.)
