    So in my latest chapter, spellcheck decided what I actually wanted to say was "gaping duckholes."

    The mind boggles. Anyone else find spellcheck gives them some real bloopers?

    Hi thread, what's that you say, you want to return from death's peaceful slumber in pursuit of an approaching-nominal entertainment payoff? Oh, it'd be my pleasure!

    My share is only tangentially on the subject of spellcheck, but it's a thematically similar comically stupid problem I have in my paid work life, as a finance professional who for some reason is a fast touch typist yet inexplicably cannot type the word account which as you might correctly imagine is a word i tend to use frequently. All the variant misspellings contain some iteration of cunt, and I am on constant guard against IMing people embarrassing sentences on Teams like:

    saw your math, looks good! email [controller] and cc me and [treasury manager] that we need to wire $5m to [affiliate organization]'s cunt at chase for their operating cash shortfall.

    did I remember you saying your nephew was graduating with accunting concentration this semester? you think he'd be interested in that accucunt role reporting to D? LMK if so

    hey FYI i just finished the ASC 842 chart of acunt maintenance, set up 4 new GL for short & long term ROU assets plus contra cunts for the accumulated gaping duckholes

    @pwizdelf , I mean... I imagine even female pornstars, escorts, strippers, and OnlyFans creators probably need a good financial professional.

    I personally wouldn't call them c*nts because I'm not trying to get kicked in the balls or cancelled (plus, I respect the hustle if that's what they want to do), but maybe it's a different kind of client-financial professional relationship. I don't judge. Money is money is money is money. :D

    But on the topic of X-rated and spellchecks I do find it funny when I come across a "come" for "cum" even though we tend to use "came" for the the past tense of both, but seeing a "come" always pulls me out because I imagine... someone pulling out.

    Me reading...

    "Oh fuck, I'm cumming!" [internal thoughts: well, this is the natural progression of things.]

    "Oh fuck, I'm coming!" [internal thoughts: wait. did they get a phone call mid-sex? are they late for something? what's happening?!]
