    They didn’t? At least in the version I’ve seen, they typed “Fe” and excel auto filled the “buary”. That’s the whole point of the meme.

      It’s “February”, so when the user typed “Febu” the program discarded “February” as an option. Only the “ary” part is autocompleted in that image, the “Febu” part has been typed manually. Although I can imagine that that first R will steadily get dropped in some dialects of English considering how it isn’t really pronounced in them

        Someone posted the version I saw below. In that one, the person has only typed “Fe”. I haven’t seen one that had “Febu” typed, but yeah, that obviously would throw it.
