Having been a recent victim of the auto correct function of the iPhone I know it's dangers. Pretty regularly iPhone corrects my cursing. It hurts my heart, if I'm being honest.

People "get" what I'm saying, but the forced apostrophe makes me feel censored.
What I want say: Get the hell out of here!
What my phone says: Get the he'll out of here!

Also also... This baby is making me like Koran? WtHell.

Maybe this is just another symptom of my Benjamin Button baby? My friend wrote back, after I re-read my email and clarified it was Oprah I like. The way she read it though was that the baby was making me like Oprah, as in acting like Oprah. I assured her, while many changes were happening to me, my body & mind due to this kid I was not, in fact, becoming the richest most powerful African American woman, in history (thank you Wikipedia). Bacon loving old lady, yes. Rich philanthropist genius, no.
It could be worse than Oprah, obviously. Just the other night in going back and forth with a co-worker and friend over twitter - I saw worse. I looked worse than Oprah straight in the eye and raised it sexual harassment. In an attempt to say "sorry I MISSED you in the office today" I got this....
