Technology is fantastic, isn’t it? Thanks to mobile apps and the advancements in the tech industry, we now have access to social media, calendars and navigation apps, and even email on our phones.
But, as Erica came to find out, this is not always a good thing, especially with good old autocorrect changing your words and making you sound like one of the X-Men!
Why Proofreading Is Important
Re-reading an important email can help avoid any embarrassing mishaps. We bet poor Seanna wishes that she had done that before clicking ‘send’ when she sent an email to a senior executive.
Typing mistakes are common when you’re in a hurry, and glancing at her email would’ve saved this Twitter user a lot of embarrassment.
Another Autocorrect Fail
One would think that receiving an email signed “Da Jelly” would have the recipient questioning the sender of the email on her rather unique name. Sadly, Danielle was left to discover her blunder all on her own.
Autocorrect is often the cause of many spelling errors, but it does make one wonder why people aren’t proofreading their emails before they click ‘send.’
When Santa Emails the Teacher
Your phone’s email app has the function to change your signature to just about anything you want. Unfortunately for this mom, forgetting to change it back led to a rather awkward email exchange with her child’s teacher.
We can only imagine her embarrassment when she realized she had sent and signed an email, ‘Santa.’ Note to self: Change email signature.

From misspelling their own names to autocorrect fails, we’ve compiled a list of work email mistakes that are too funny not to share.
