Great idea: clever computer works out what you want to say and chooses the letters for you. But why, when I'm typing the word 'pub' is it only the third option, after 'sub' and 'rub'? Sub and rub. Now there are two words I constantly use in text messages. "I'll pick you up at 8 in my sub." Morons. I'm a busy man.

How i make things easier to type... type any letters that make no sense so it can come up with no suggestion and then edit word and then type your whole message and it doesn't all come out in caps either...

that's only cos your spelling is very bad so you press the wrong buttons, on the phone and the word you want doesn't come up.

But if she used predictive texts she would have said 10 to 1, needlessly confusing matters.

But if you used predictive text you would have told her that she was a punter, in which case Donna probably thinks there is a 50/50 chance that they'll get back together.

I told Donna she was a munter, and since I was wearing my Saggy disguise she got the hint.

Fool.

You can suggest alternative words by pressing the "*" button. Easy as pie.

The youth of today eh? They don't know they're born.
