Auto-correct may well be our biggest enemy or our greatest ally. Imagine typing a quick message to your boss, only to realize you've made a gigantic mistake by writing, "tgat's all right." Suddenly, you just want to disappear.
Thankfully, that's what auto-correct is for. Before we make mistakes that make us question our entire existence, here comes our knight in shining armor. But not everyone is so lucky, and auto-correct doesn't exactly exist in real life. That's how we end up finding hilarious signs on Facebook that show human error at its finest. So, sit back and enjoy!

Ultimately, typos aren't a matter of literacy or intelligence. Anyone can make them; otherwise, autocorrect wouldn't even exist in the first place! And, funnily enough, engineer Dean Hachamovitch invented it in 1993 and introduced it to Microsoft Word 6.0 after realizing how often he made the same typing mistakes himself.

So even engineers struggle with typing sometimes. It's not just you or the lady running the store on the corner! But tell us, Pandas, which of these mistakes did you find the funniest? Have you ever spotted any hilarious typos out in the wild? Let us know in the comments!
