Today, I was writing my rough draft of an essay, and I forgot how to spell a word. I waited for auto correct to help. I was writing on paper. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was writing out palm cards and didn't know if I'd spelled a word correctly, so I stared at it for about 10 seconds waiting for spell check to tell me if it was right or not before I realised I was writing on paper. FML
Today, I realized how much I'm on the computer. I tried to "CTRL+Z" on something I wrote down on my paper. FML
Today, I was so tired at work that I typed out "wherehouse" instead of "warehouse" in a document shared with my co-workers. It took me several seconds to realize why the heck the spell checker had underlined "wherehouse" in red. FML
Today, I was writing an essay while sleep-deprived. In between actually writing, I started typing my thoughts. It was only after I’d submitted the essay that I realized that I hadn’t deleted the random words. My teacher can see my early-morning rambling about potatoes. I have no way to delete it. FML
Today, after pulling an all-nighter on an essay, I submitted it one minute before the deadline and felt like a genius. Later, I reopened the file and discovered I'd uploaded the rough draft instead of the final version. The last line ended with “fix this later,” which was not my finest academic work. FML
Today, I realized I forgot to write a 5000 word essay for my English class. I tried to be calm since I had until midnight to finish, and it was only 8pm. I typed for three hours straight,and finished the assignment. I read over the instruction again, and realized it only had to be 500 words. FML
Today, I got back the essay I wrote about how my country's education system is fucked. At one point, I made a spelling mistake. My teacher wrote a note about it, basically calling me illiterate, and telling me to pay attention in school instead of whining about it. She misspelled "school". FML
Today, I misspelled the word "failure" in front of all my co-workers. Now I'm not given any writing tasks. FML
Today, I'm grading final projects for a junior level college class. A student finally turned in their work, after months of encouragement and coaxing. Half of it was plain wrong, the rest had so many spelling and grammatical mistakes, it appeared to be written by a drunk autocorrect program. FML
Today, I realized I had misspelled "Education" on all the resumes I've been submitting. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'm apart of the 2047 generation. We still don't have flying cars, and the president is Cy-bama.

I wonder what kind of transportation there will be in the future...? Maybe when the world runs out of gas, we will travel on giant flying bison :o

No, we just use more petroleum from other planets :-/ Oh and global warming was a hoax.

Or fully solar power vehicles.... Seems a bit more realistic...

False. The future will be void of life, as time machines will be invented in 2043, and because pollution and gas costing $65 a gallon, everyone will "move" to the past. Unfortunately, time machines were made for one way travel, thus the reason I'm in 2012. Btw, the mayan calendar ending, all that happened was a widespread serious case of indigestion.

Global warming was a hoax? Honestly these past winters have been really warm, should have been 50 degrees cooler.
skyeyez9 25
The earth goes thru warming and cooling cycles. When the ice age stopped and it began to warm up, it wasn't because of those pesky mammoths and their darn gas guzzling SUVs. Global warming is an excuse for the government to have yet another tax and control what you drive, what temp you set your thermostat, what house you can have, and any other aspect they can think of due to "global warming."

This is why technology is bad. We, Generation Z (90's kids), have grown up with technology all our lives, which means we've never learned how to do anything the hard way. I am concerned about this, as some day the human race will be in our hands, and most of the kids in this generation are blithering idiots. (I realise the irony of what I just said)

I know how you feel, I was drawing and made a wrong line and my first instinct was to press Ctrl Z while I was drawing on paper.

Auto-correct pen: It slaps you and then writes word correctly for you.

You realise technology is outside too, right? Most people I see outside are doing something on their fancy gadgets rather than actually physically interacting.

This post is in reference to the computer, not technology In general. Before you attempt to correct someone think.

And since when do people write a paper on a "fancy gadget" other than a computer ?? I'll wait...

I wouldn't say I came with the intention of correcting you, but well played.

*You're. If you're to try to use sarcasm to insult someone please use some common sense and use proper spelling/punctuation. Otherwise you will look like an idiot. Just a tip. (:

Grammar nazi.. No one cares about this mistake.. It's easy for me to figure out.. Go back to your hole..
Meowingtons500 18
Hmm. I don't remember crawling out of a hole. Perhaps a vodka bottle? I was just giving this commenter a friendly tip, to prevent him/her from getting raged at by potential psychotic Grammar Nazis in the future. That is all. But thanks for your input. :)

I joke "you're soooo s-m-r-t" all the time.

The whole "if I can understand it, who cares" thing is dumb. It's encouraging people to type like retards.
