If you have predictive text on your phone try putting in Smirnoff, and see what you get.
Quite interesting. ;)

How about putting 'Mum' in?! I think sometimes maybe 'Saint' is more appropriate! lol

I don't get predictive text - You put a word in ....then it skips through various words that don't make sense AT ALL (that you don't want) then ask's you to spell it LOL :hihi:

Predictive text is awful, I don't know how anybody can use it.

I've never worked out why 'nun' comes before 'mum' when predictive texting. You'd think the most regularly used words would come first. Who on earth uses the word nun more than mum?

Same thing with 'john' coming before 'join'. Unless of course the programmer was called John...

It's meant to remember which words you personally use more often and bring those ones up first - I think it depends on your phone. In my experience, Nokia's predictive text doesn't do this as well as other makes I've had. I like it though, it still makes texting much quicker. What really annoys me is key tones........bleep bleep bleep etc. every time you press buttons! Arrrrggggghhhh!

If I ever let my battery run out on the Samsung and the phone switched itself off - I used to have to Input my personal ones ALL AGAIN - Argggh ...Now that's bloody annoying ! x :hihi:

I've just got a new phone with this predictive text mallarkey and it's a right pain in the proverbial! Anyone know if you can disable the feature? (the phone's a 2nd hand Sony J5 and didn't come with a manual)
