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
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 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
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 reading a book on paper for the first time in maybe a month. I had to stop at a word I did not recognise. Because I'm so used to using a Kindle, I tried to get the definition by pressing it. I had my finger on the word for a few seconds before I realised it was paper. FML
Today, I was taking a test and thought I was doing great until I realized I was writing all my answers on the question paper, not the answer sheet. By the time I noticed, there were only five minutes left. FML
Today, after many days of messing around with wording and pictures, a huge and expensive printed card order came in to the office. I spelled the first word wrong. I can't get a refund. FML
Today, I spent hours delicately writing out what seemed to be a beautiful poem to my girlfriend. After I sent it to her, I kept eyeing my phone to see her surprised message. No, the only response I got was, "You may want to use a spellcheck." 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 spent ages writing a draft press release as part of a copywriting job application. I worked really hard and read it through several times before submitting. They emailed me to point out that I'd misspelled the name of the company. Twice. FML
Today, I finished doing a resume that I had spent three hours on. I e-mailed it to the business I was applying for, satisfied. I decided to look it over. The first thing I notice, I spelt my own name wrong. 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!

Since when does spellcheck even take 10 seconds to tell you if it's wrong?

Not really, no one but op would know.
onlychildFTW 34
And now the FML community knows! That's a lot of people.
Pleonasm 36
And the FML community now, I suppose EDIT: it seems i was beaten to the punch! My bad ^^
ksks1234 33
True, so I recant my last statement.

45, someone was reading book and started pressing down on a word on the page. They were looking for the definition.

I don't know if all this technology is a good thing... Or a really bad thing
unknown_user5566 27
Definitely a good thing. Though technology can make *some* people lazier, or too dependent, it's all about forward progress.

Some day, we will create something that will replace exercise. Isn't that great? No more obesity! Technology will be our downfall one day. It's the greatest thing to happen to humanity but also the worse.
freshberries22 17
Sadly this is not surprising, we have become completely dependent on technology to help us. We're then left at a disadvantage because some of us can't spell without spell check or do basic arithmetic without a calculator.

Way to go, genius... Lol...

You seem to always be in a good mood, almost every comment I've seen of yours has ended with a lol. Not that it is a bad thing. Simply an observation.
olpally 33
Good observation...:D i try to keep my composure on here the best I can... I enjoy life to the fullest... Lol :D

I know when! Never! :D

A sign that technology is taking over!

judgement day is coming. Time to hide John Conner in an old underground bunker!

Sooner or later, there will be spell check for paper. That's the sad part.
gibby1235 6
No, the sad part is that you actually believe that.
matt98_fml 13
I don't believe that it will happen soon, but it may happen in like 50-100 years from now. 50 years ago we didn't have computers, so technology advances very quickly.
Smashhoof 15
Yes, but in 50 to 100 years, we might not even use paper anymore.

#14 - They can make tablets now. Maybe it won't be out of paper in the future, but they should be able to make something that works like paper. Good thing is you'll be able to reuse it! But honestly, it's not the craziest thing to imagine

There are these lovely tools on computers now such as Word and email. The idea is that, eventually, you will not even have to use paper. Everything is through technology. I know, it's crazy how cool it is.

Don't worry, Ive almost double-tapped a picture in a magazine to get it to zoom. And I'm not on computers/my phone all the time. >.
onlychildFTW 34
How do you even do that? A magazine is very different then a touch screen phone or iPad or something. I don't see how you can try to double tap a flimsy magazine.

^Well, is what the eyes see and how the brain picks it up...

I can't wait for the day that there is a solar wind that knocks out all electrical devices out on the planet. Then people would realize how screwed they'd be without it.
onlychildFTW 34
People already know how screwed they would be without electricity.

I use electronics all the time, and I've also lived for almost a year in Afghanistan without running water it's not that big of a deal just inconvenient..you're dumb
SkoomaKi 28
Well sir, I'm not the one who "taps" on a book for the definition of a word as you said in your previous comment (#17).
Dixbfloppin 11
I think of it like this: When/if said solar wind ever occurs and wipes out all electronics on the planet, we'll eventually learn how we ever lived without technology in the first place. Sadly, the power would have come back by a futuristic generator that runs on solar energy and we would all be back to watching silly videos of kittens on the internet.

There was another FML just like this awhile back lol
tylahgrace 12
I was just about to comment that. it was really similar, pretty sure the first op was writing them on palm cards too
agonydrum 7
Sometimes when I read paper books ill catch myself stupidly tapping words I don't know for a definition
