4. I used to play this prank on co workers
In word, you can set words to automatically correct themselves. Many of these are built in - for instance if you type "teh" it will change to "the".

Under the tools menu, select AutoCorrect, and it will give you a list of the words and what they will change into.

5. Ask in the Gungeon.
Some of the posters there have a problem with their software changing the word "gun" to "penis".

10. Does anyone else have access to your computer?
Maybe you didn't prank yourself.
