I always switch predictive text off, for that reason.
Have you made embarrassing typos?
Or sent or received messages using predictive text, causing confusion?
Yes. More than a few.
The one that sticks in my mind wasn't actually a typo. It was in an early version of Word with spell check.
I had typed out a fairly long technical quotation for various equipment for a water pumping station. One of the sections was entitled "Borehole Pump Set".
Word evidently didn't like that. It became "Brothel Dump Site".
I was tempted to leave it - I knew the recipient on pretty good terms. Common sense took over. I knew my quotation would be circulated among others who might not have the same sense of humour and were in a position to place that £300k order.
