iPhone Vocabulary Fail: Ominous!
From Damn You, Auto Correct!:
Ominous, of course, means “Menacing; threatening; of or being an omen, especially an evil one.”
Ominous could be said to be the antonym of auspicious, which means “attended by favorable circumstances; marked by success.”
I need to get my hearing aids checked! What I heard as the ominous sound of thunder was really the auspicious sound of the ice cream truck rumbling down the street!
The word propitious can be used in the same way as auspicious, meaning “presenting favorable circumstances.”
