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!
