Isn't it possible to avoid the contentious and argumenntative tone generated by the rules of the thread and the.emotional discomfort following from that?

Do you mean that you don't use Preview to screen for typos and other errors before posting?

Why is it, I wonder, that my third question from the next subsequent post, as to whether there's a better word program for Android than 'Google keyboard', with its attendant 'textmess' problem, failed to post?

Is Marvin really paranoid?

Is Google keyboard anything less than disturbingly deranged?

Can there really be much doubt with a combination of auto-complete, auto-ccorrect and auto-capitalization features producing a system that's not correct or even grammatical more than about 3 times in a thousand and even sinks to such depths as auto-capitalizing after periods occuring in URL bar addresses, under the administration of someone who used the update process to remove the settings controls that as little as a month ago at least theoretically allowed one to turn those features off?

I could live with the google keyboard. I could put it in a box in the loft where I know exactly where it is, then try and find it urgently, and then I'd never see it ever again.
