      The first thing I do with a new phone is switch off predictive text. My wife keeps complaining her phone keeps putting in the wrong words, but will she switch predictive text off....................

              I use predictive text a lot on my phone - especially as I write in 2 languages! So much so that when I'm writing in these message boxes on forums I often expect them to fill in the word I want!!! :loll:

              I do find it a bit of a nuisance when writing emails in Google or Hotmail though! :rolleyespink::frown:

              My phone gives me a choice of three words above my text box and I can choose to accept one but it doesn't do it automatically. It also remembers what I have written in the past so it offers words that fit the context of my text.

                You should get more than 3 if you swipe them sideways, mine gives me 9.

                  Tried it. My cheapo Vodafone V10 only gives three with no swipe action.

                    I'm pleased I don't get electronics interfering with what I'm typing. I know what I want to say but my fingers don't always do what they're told! :noidea: All mistakes are my own :heehee:

                      My typing is terrible these days. For some reason I keep hitting the key beside the one I want, sometimes in the next line. I don't know if it is due to the cataract on my right eye, upsetting my stereo vision, or if I am just getting stupid with age. Probably a bit of both.
                      Other times I type a word and the letters are there but as Eric Morecambe said "Not necessarily in the right order". I think as well as arthritis my fingers have dyslexia. Thank goodness for spell checkers.

                        I also get that bit about not getting the letters in the right order. I think the message from my brain gets to one hand quicker than the other :scratch:.

                        My editor always told me never to get anything with predictive text and that has worked well for years until I got my wobbly fingers. I don't have a mobile phone so it can't creep up on me unexpectedly. :)

                        This poem has been run through a predictive text spell checker.

                        I have a spelling checker,
                        It came with my pea see.
                        It plane lee marks four my revue
                        Miss steaks aye can knot sea.

                        Eye ran this poem threw it,
                        Your sure reel glad two no.
                        Its vary polished in it’s weigh.
                        My checker tolled me sew.

                        A checker is a bless sing,
                        It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
                        It helps me right awl stiles two reed,
                        And aides me when eye rime.

                        Each frays come posed up on my screen
                        Eye trussed too bee a joule.
                        The checker pours o’er every word
                        To cheque sum spelling rule.

                        Bee fore a veiling checker’s
                        Hour spelling mite decline,
                        And if we’re lacks oar have a laps,
                        We wood bee maid too wine.

                        Butt now bee cause my spelling
                        Is checked with such grate flare,
                        Their are know fault’s with in my cite,
                        Of nun eye am a wear.

                        Now spelling does knot phase me,
                        It does knot bring a tier.
                        My pay purrs awl due glad den
                        With wrapped word’s fare as hear.

                        To rite with care is quite a feet
                        Of witch won should bee proud,
                        And wee mussed dew the best wee can,
                        Sew flaw’s are knot aloud.
