fantastic, we should use predictive text for everything that we could
finally get the average vocabularly down to under a hundred words.
if civilisation ever collapses we'll be left with a race like the
golgafrinchans from restaraunt at the end of the universe...

The amount of people who cant use predictive text is stupid. I've shown
quite a few where there going wrong and switched them to use it and now they
dont know how they texed without it. Its sooooooo much quicker.
The problem lies in the habit of pressing the keys a few times for each
letter. Like to get "e" without predictive u have to press the 3 key twice.
but with predictive u would only have to press it once, becuase it knows
what ur spelling (within reason ;).
So to type "hello" press 4 3 5 5 6. Dont worry if its spelling it wrong to
start with, cos it changes the word as it goes along to fit with what your
typing! so just press each key once for the letter u want.
Get used to it, it makes life so much more simple.
Try this..
8 4 4 7 0
4 7 0
7 6 0
6 8 2 4 0
3 2 7 8 3 7
It would take much more presses to write that without predictive!
Hope this helps u as it did my mates.
Jamie
