    Predictive text

    This is a pain in the bum I hate it it insists on changing words I put in for instance bum comes out as bun I just changed it twice then I was replying to a thread and Zizi,s name keeps coming up as zip , I can't count the amount of things I have had to amend once I post and read back . On a morning I always text my sister to say what we doing that day and to tell her I love her just as well we know what we are saying to each other as some of the words don't come anywhere near what we are saying Grrrr now that just changed to green 😈 I give up

    I hate predictive text and don't use it. I get some hilarious texts sometimes, which I know are the result of predictive text wrongly predicting what the person means!

            Each time I get a phone I switch off predictive text. Most people I know seem to use it, but OH and I don't!

                  Oma, I have checked in the text, but I can't see anywhere that it says predictive text.

                  Go to profile, click on customise my theme, click where it says content,then click text.

                  you can change type/size of text, but nothing for predictive text,not on mine anyway.

                        I believe it is what you are writing from, for example a phone or an iPad or variations of such. A desk top doesn't have predictive text (or at least Windows 7 doesn't) and so no problem, but my iPad is switched onto it as I find it useful personally, but I switch my phone off usually on this. Hope this helps.

                          I couldn't see anywhere that predictive text could be switched on and off, Oma, so I think Elisi's explanation must be the one.
                          Nan2, thanks for that. We can't always provide the answers, but trying to is helpful

                              Oma - do you get predictive tex on say emails or any other forums you use? I don't think there's predictive text on the GRU software. I get it on my iPad and phone, and on the phone I find it quite useful - and often leads to a more interesting message than the one I'd planned!!!

                              You can use spellcheck on here though - I find that very useful, too.
