    In french, via SMS, to a girl I was flirting with as a teenager:

    “T’es où?” (Where are you?) got auto-corrected to “T’es nu?” (Are you naked?).

    I don’t remember what her response was, but I remember we didn’t end up dating.

      This reminds me of my practice French oral exam at school, so not a typo but still:

      As part of the conversation my teacher asked what sort of things I liked to read, and I decided to talk about a then popular technology magazine called T3.

      “T trois” sounds rather like “Tais toi” (shut up), and she was a bit taken aback!

      Thankfully though we learned not to use that in the real exam.
