Predictive text.

I saw this on Face book & it made me smile. I hate predictive text - can't get on with it at all.

How do you fare with it?

Re: Predictive text.

There was a girl on a forum & she used to borrow her friends phone to leave posts, because of the predictive text her posts were hilarious & had us all in fits of laughter. She never did get the hang of them.

I suppose some people must, Carol, or the makers would not continue to programme it in. Drove me crazy until I found out how to turn it off.

Re: Predictive text.

Sometimes I type out a message or a post and only realise it makes so sense because of predictive text after I have hit send...drives me mad having to go back to edit , I do read stuff back to myself but my brain knows what I mean and forgets to read the mistakes

I'm known for my howlers
I'm on three separate WhatsApp groups so if I send one on those...everyone in the group sees it!

Re: Predictive text.
