This is odd for me to say because I hated predictive text for several years until I bought a smartphone – I could never get the damn thing to work properly. My current phone is incredibly user friendly – if I botch a word, a little bubble pops up that suggests a different one. If the predicted word is correct, all i have to do is keep typing. If it isn’t, I press a little “x” beside the word and make another attempt at typing the word properly. The predictive text seems to learn things that may not be in its dictionary, such as last names and drunken slang.
