Just be careful with predictive text

[Matt Sayle]

A man asked a girl:

"do you want to get food in the crown on our next date?"

With predictive text.
Nothing wrong with that?

Just try it

I think it must depend on the predictive text system and the phone you use.

On my SE which uses T9 it only got two words wrong. I won't spoil other's fun but the word I think you expect it to get wrong it doesn't for me.

What's predictive text?

It guesses what your going write.

As I said above, it depends on the phone and PD system.

My SE (T9 text) came up with:

Do you want to get done in the crown on our next dave

To get the result Matt gets your phone needs to display the word choices in alphabetical order. Mine doesn't but seems to

a) use some form of 'weighting' based on how commonly the word is used in English

b) how often you've used one of the choices before - for example it sometimes offers 'me' and sometimes 'of'
