No need to be overly sensitive here. All of us have experienced the case of using the wrong word from time to thyme and the spell checker misses or mangles it.

Recently my phone corrector had done that just as i sent a text, changing a misspelled word to a womans name in a text to my wife.

A lot of people, for the obvious reason, think that the number is spelled the same as the engine. I thought it was worth pointing it out.
I pwned guy once who was certain it was spelled Google. He'd never known they were two different words.

I like how you phrase that in a question like it isn't obvious... I'm not trying to be rude but you clearly see it's a typo, you clearly know what I'm talking about... So is it really that worth it to nit pick an error that was autocorrect anyways?

It would have been better to just simply state that I made a typo, not ask me like I'm too stupid too see... Kind of insulting. I'm a grown man, if I make a typing error (on my phone God forbid) just tell me, you don't have to be cynical about it.

The problem with the internet is we forget that we just don't know peoples ages, gender, accents, languages... and consequently don't know what to take as a basis for conversation.
