Predictive text is that amazing yet frustrating technology that mobile phones use to make typing your sms's faster. It works by realising that theres only a few words that can be made from a string of keypad presses, then analysing the most likely choice and substituting your typed characters as you type.
Amazing.
Except two things come to mind. One, it doesn't then shorten these words to sms speak.
Eg. "Omfg it will gr8 2 c u". The other is when it doesn't recognise a word, eg. "Ill be there when I've finished Crasshog". Replacing "crapping" with "crasshog", now I don't know the word crasshog, there must be one, but the time it takes to add a word to the dictionary is normally enough to put people right off.
Please phone makers here me out and shorten predcted words to txt speak, and allow me to add crapping to the dictionary much easier!
End of thought, bugger off.
