A year in break ups: The best autocorrects from 2012
We've moved a long way from "it's not you, it's me". Now technology does the breaking up for us - whether we like it or not
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.2012 has been a busy year for celebrity break ups, with Katy Perry and Russell Brand starting off the year with their divorce.
In April, celeb romance royalty Seal and Heidi Klum as well as Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony announced they were calling it a day. June saw Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes end their marriage and we also witnessed Robert Pattinson and Kirsten Stewart’s big split.
With so many romantic tragedies throughout the year it seems only fitting that we should honour these grand heartbreaks with a tenuously related - but amusing - look at some epic break ups and near misses, due to that modern catalyst of communication breakdown: autocorrect.
