We’ve all had many chuck­les at Damn You Auto­cor­rect, but then we came to the shock­ing real­i­sa­tion that Steve Jobs must have secret insid­er knowl­edge of Welling­ton. Just behold these iPhone auto­cor­rects:

  • Chur­ton = Churn. “Behold how we churn through so much petrol with our SUVs in even going to the shop to buy a litre of milk”.
  • Crofton = Crou­ton. “Look at how classy we are out here in the sub­urbs, we put small cubes of bread in our sal­ad”.
  • New­town = Bes­tial. Goes with­out say­ing.
  • Hutt = Hurt. “I live in Low­er Hurt — it’s not quite as painful as liv­ing in Upper Hutt”.
  • Petone = Per­ineum. Remem­ber the short-lived Petone is full of jel­ly?

Feel free to add your own in the com­ments…
