While autocorrect accounts to some truly hilarious text fails the amount of times it does get things right is truly amazing and the technology behind it is even cooler. Most of the big name tech companies keep their software under wraps but the company Nuance was willing to talk to Slate Magazine and filled them in on how the spell check magic happens.

Nuance software company is responsible for one of the oldest and most popular text-entry systems - T9 (throwback to those flip phones). Each company has customized this system so it might not carry the same branding but a variation of it has been bundled with billions of phones.

The earliest version of was a way to enter a text message using a 9-digit numeric keypad, but flash forward and phones can automatically correct input and recognize handwriting. So how does it all work? The algorithm behind auto-correction works the same as a word processors spell checker. While you are typing the software is checking each word against its built-in dictionary. Would be pretty difficult for our human editors but for a computer it happens at warp speed.

But what happens when your computer editor can’t find a match? That’s right, it just makes it up! Kinda. It tries to predict what you were trying to say. Unfortunately this “helpfulness” can create some hilarious epic fails and wild misunderstandings!

I'm a visual editor at Bored Panda. I kickstart my day with a mug of coffee bigger than my head, ready to tackle Photoshop. I navigate through the digital jungle with finesse, fueled by bamboo breaks and caffeine kicks. When the workday winds down, you might catch me devouring bamboo snacks while binging on the latest TV show, gaming or I could be out in nature, soaking up the tranquility and communing with my inner panda.

The Jimmy Fallon show used to be the benchmark for late night tv with groundbreaking show/entertainment elements (many times copied by global media throughout the years) now I can't watch any episode anymore without getting highly irritated by Jimmy's fake laugh. Please don't be offended, it is just my POV.

Most of them weren't awkward texts at all, just autocorrect gone bad. I doubt Jimmy Fallon was looking for material that everyone involved immediately laughed over.

I was getting tires put onto my car and a male co-worker texted me to see where I was. My response was autocorrected to "Getting new titties." I really wish I had saved a screen shot of that one.

I don't need autocorrect to send awkward texts - my eyesight is so bad. Once when upset with my ex-partner I sent an angry (and slightly explicit) text - to my Landlord.

My mom does this all the time. Using autocorrect and sending the text without reading it again. I often died from laughing. Once she asked me if I would come around for dinner. I asked what she was cooking. She replied "Primat und Rühreier" (primate and scrambled eggs) instead of Spinat (spinach). I just asked her to shave the primate before cooking. 😂😂😂
