Predictive text amusing but apt 'wrong' words
Mina Started conversation Mar 7, 2003
Isn't it funny how when I try to type 'Abi' I get 'Bag'.
Does anyone else get the wrong word, that decribes what or who you mean just as well?

A friend of mine once sent a text to a collegue. She (the collegue) was new and he (my friend) wanted to give the impression he was a friendly kinda guy, so he a text saying 'Do you want to have a meal at the hotel?'. Or rather, he would have done, he the predictive text thingy not changed 'meal' to 'neck'. He didn't notice the change. He sent it. He is now deeply, deeply embarassed about the whole thing.

I texted a friend once to ask if he wanted to go for a pint, but didn't press the change key enough times and instead asked him to meet me for a riot. i suppose that would depend on how many pints we had...

off topic a little....
but I was amused sunday morning to receive the text:
"hi sexy. are you not talking to me? was friday a mistake? john.
being a straight guy, who doesn't know anyone called john I had to break the bad news that I guessed 'sexy' had fed him a red-herring mobile number....poor john
just imagine the fun I *could* have had (i decided not to be so cruel)....

Despite the name I'm female.
B I don't think there is a ladder long enough to get you out of this one. Have fun trying though.

Once, I asked someone if they wanted to go out for a drink, but didn't press the last button, so thanks to predictive text, it read:
"evening dave, you fancy going out for an ergo"

I hate predictive texts. I turn the dictionary off.
Oh, and *raises hand* I have given out the wrong number to a number of guys in the past.
