Predictive text

[z1000]

How annoying is it to keep scrolling through rub and sub to get to pub ?

I've never used the first two words but text the word "pub" on average about ten times a day

A 14 year old friend of my daughters sent a text to her boyfriend asking " Are you home in bed ?" Of course it came out "good"

Any other annoyances , or embarrasing moments when texting ?

I keep inviting people out for a riot, when what I really want is a pint!

edited to wonder to self if it's not the other way round really!

A decent riot is better than a pint, I find

I hate it. There's nothing in my predictive text file and I keep it switched off. I notice that it doesn't seem to speed up texting at all - in the time it takes you to find the right word, I've typed it already.

And there's nothing more annoying than yet another computer saying "are you sure you don't want to say this? Do you want this word? go on - I can do everything for you"

off!

I usually text my wife from work asking how the kids are..?(Phoebe + Jordan).
Usually what she gets is "how are pinead + Korean this morning"?...

I hate it, I always get the word "Womb" for some reason.

bomb
anna
comb
coma
bona
conc
cona
amoc



Thing on mine is i can randomly hit loads of letter, about 7 or 8 and it comes up with a mess it thinks is a word half the time.

The only one I normally get wrong is dont, which comes out as foot.

Put the apostrophe in, works a treat.

It always amused me when it came up with bomb as the first word (Easily amused I guess)

Start talking "cockney"... and call it the rub-a-dub-dub... and shorten it to rub... problem solved!

HTH,


eta: another dub

I know I quoted it a few weeks ago but this is an actual text sent by a friend of mine when more than a little pissed a feeling rather randy.

"You filthy chubi. I want to shove my coal up your damp puppy then go down on your hot steaming aunt and give you a good vomiting."

I had to quote it again as we still haven't stopped taking the piss for it.

I keep accidentaly inviting my mates out for a riot

Freudian perhaps

[sheepy]

My mot v600 supposedly builds a dictionary based on words I've previously used, and then uses this to make suggestions which does seem to work. Now I only need to type "Og" and it suggests "Oggs, are you going to the pub?"

I'm texting one of those right now!

I asked her out last week, but she said no. (awwwwwww).

Apparently she thinks there's a bit too much of an aid has between us.

Think she meant age gap (it's only three years FFS! She's 18 and I'm 21).

Thats not too bad. The girl i've just started "seeing" isn't 18 until June and i'm 22.

Isnt that illegal?

A mate informed us that the girl he was currently fondling was born in 1985

I very nearly collapsed and then did the maths...
