Nothing can ruin a career, destroy a relationship or just make people laugh harder than a good autocorrect fail. Messages saying “you’re accepted” become “you’re adopted,” “I’m leaving now” turns into “I’m leaving you” and talking to your mom about “that great, big pile of shirts” becomes something no mother should ever see. Ever. (Sorry about that, Mom. It was a pile of “shirts”!)
In honor of Gmail’s latest feature allowing you to unsend emails, Jimmy Fallon made this week’s hashtag #EmailFail. Fallon has actually had this same hashtag earlier this year, but, judging by the high-quality fails in this week’s favorites, don’t be surprised if we see it a few more times, too:
Sent email 2 boss “got a weird e-receipt from vendor” It autocorrected to “erection” He replied “not a business expense, & ew” #EmailFail

@jimmyfallon My co-worker sent an email to everyone asking for help to get his wife turned on. He meant to say “Wi-Fi”. #EmailFail

@jimmyfallon “Sorry sir, I can’t come into work today; I’m in bed with a nasty clown.” I meant to say “cold”. #EmailFail

There’s probably a lesson here to read over things before you send them. But these were pretty great — so keep up the good work, America.
