This afternoon I officially passed on my elementary library Twitter account and set up a new one for my middle school library. It took most of the day to compose my farewell tweet-it’s book fair week and we’ve been busy. I wanted to end my post with “adios amigos” and wound up with “Adoos ambiguities!” I had to save my draft and that’s what welcomed me when I returned. It prompted me to compose short Spanish phrases and let autocorrect fix everything for me.
Here are a few samples:
| English | Spanish | Apple Autocorrect |
| I enjoy going to the movies. | Me gusta ir al cine. | Me enchants it’s al cone. |
| You are my friend. | Tu eres mi amiga. | Ruthie weeks mi amiga. |
| I need a cup of coffee | Necesito una taza de cafe. | Necessity una Taz a de cafe. |
| Hello, how are you? | ¿Hola, como estas? | Hola, ComicCon estos? |
| I’m very hungry. | Tengo mucha hambre. | Tengo muncha ham Bre. |
| I have a headache. | Tengo un dolor de cabeza. | Tengo un dolor de caveman. |
| When will we eat dinner? | ¿Cuándo cenamos? | Chandigarh cenamos? |
| Happy birthday. | Feliz cumpleaños. | Felix cumpleaños. |
| I like to eat pizza. | Me gusta comer pizza. | Me gusts comer pizza. |
The things I do to entertain myself. ¡Adoos, ambiguities!

Loved the humor of your slice but in reality auto-correct sometimes gets it all wrong.

This brought a much-needed smile this morning. Autocorrect can be a blessing AND a curse! It also bugs me that we don’t have an “n with tilde” key, and I always forget the alt plus code way of typing it. Copy-and-paste has been my friend with Latinx author names this Hispanic Heritage Month.
