I recently read a really sweet story about a newborn calf that had disappeared from a pasture. The title said that its mother cow had been 'balling' furiously for hours, or days, or whatever. (The little guy had fallen through a sinkhole, and was later rescued.)
As it happens,'Balling' is a word that means screwing, having sex!
Clearly, this poor mother cow was not enjoying herself; the intended word has to have been 'Bawling,' crying for the missing calf. Mothers are usually like that. Also, as it happens, she was trying to show the farmer exactly where the calf had disappeared.
I'm guessing that the confusion arose from a combination of Voice-To-Text software, and an AI routine that was obviously trying its best. If you use V-T-T, check your text carefully.
