Why you shouldn't rely on your spell checker.

Now you're going to look at it again and notice the line above reads "gay manly loving"

Hey, I didn't write it. (I hope it would be better writing if I did -- and also I know how to spell "forgotten"!)

Wingardium? My friend's dad was at school with Peter Wyngarde AKA Jason King. Apparently, he was "a very lazy boy".

It maybe in poor taste but I had an awful situation with spell check, thought I would share it all with you lol. I was downstairs and I blew my nose and my mate text me from upstairs asking " what was that noise?!" and I replied "I just blew my nose" when it actually wrote " I just blew my load"... He text me back saying "???" and because I didnt realize at the time I text him again in capitals saying " I JUST BLEW MY LOAD!!".... I realized later my awful mistake and to say the very least it was one of the most awkward meals of my life later that night..

There's pages of them here. I cried when I read through these the first time.
