What grinds my gears...

This bloody samsung smartphone predictive text.

How can it suggest 'ts' or 'Ur' ahead of 'up'

Or 'ON'T' and 'O'nt' before 'not'

they dont even make sense, why would I end a word with capital 'ON' apostrophe T? Unless it's for Yorkshire folk on'tinternet

and why 'ht' instead if 'it' I can't even think of a word that has 'ht' together like that.. i suppose the cockerny "wots it all ABAHT" could count.

Plus others too many to mention

I never use predictive text simply because of the reasons above. I've lost count of the amount of times I hear that iPhone users send the wrong words thanks to predictive text.

I genuinely thought it was because i'd moved to Yorkshire. "I'm just on't bus home mam"

I wouldn't be without predictive text now. It means I can send unnecessarily long, rambling and complicated messages to people in a fraction of the time

Yeah but full of words you don't mean.

Do you use proper punctuation too? I do... winds my kids up no end !!

It's easily done but I tend to avoid it because I type like a typist now (after 14 years of writing crappy reports and letters for work) and look at the screen rather than the buttons.

I do use proper punctuation because I find it pretty easy (and quick with the old predictive text) and with modern phones there's no need to abbreviate things. Also, I'm 36 so I think it would look a bit sinister and weird if I wrote texts like a 13 year old girl

My sister-in-law does that, thinks it's 'kewl'. Just makes her appear idiotic.

Apart from that she is lovely... and yes i would...

Is that so wrong?

No, it's absolutely fine.

If you ever get in grief over this my endorsement may not help

Erase you history then in case she ever wants to check up on you.

None of my wife's sisters are good looking. It's a bit disappointing really. If you're getting married make sure he/she has some hot siblings that you can flirt with at family dos. It makes those events that wee bit easier.

Or, just don't get married and then you can flirt with whoever without fear of the other half wanting to cut your nads off?

That's probably because people don't bang on about the countless times that an incorrectly spelled was corrected by the iPhone dictionary.
