| 1129673 | 2010-08-20 11:14:00 | I have used predictive texting in the past, but dropped it when I got my first smartphone in 2003 (? - ages ago anyway). Much easier to type just waht you want to say - even if it's across a couple of text messages. That said, I get annoyed with the iPhone because it tries to predict - and changes "me" to "mr" for some reason. Plus it uses American spellings! Wish I knew how to turn it off!!! I hate "txt spk" for exactly the reason Solmiester states. |

| 1129674 | 2010-08-20 11:43:00 | Tried it, and often it ended up with crap I didn't want, quicker to tap in exactly what you want to send, AND in real english. About the only words I abbreviate are C = See u = You. You can always tell you when SWMBO is using predictive - she always stuffs it up and it comes out with something '"Odd" :lol: |

| 1129676 | 2010-08-20 12:15:00 | Nope, predictive is too slow and you have to look at the screen. | --Wolf-- (128) | ||
| 1129677 | 2010-08-20 13:03:00 | Use predictive and can text blind with it, as I know what words default on my phone . The idea of using text language makes me want to go and have a shower . . . it's so filthy! I refuse to reply to people who send me messages in it . If you can't be bothered putting the effort in to spelling a whole word, why should I bother to correspond with you? P . S . Woohoo, it's Friday! I believe this is the first time I've agreed with something you've said . |

| 1129679 | 2010-08-20 21:19:00 | Oh im quite quick on a keyboard, it annoys my mates on irc sometimes how I can send a massive message quick | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1129680 | 2010-08-21 22:11:00 | I have a really old phone & the predictive on it is useless, so I don't use it. My work phone (HTC Touch 2) probably has better predictive but I don't txt on it. | Greven (91) | ||
