I wonder if our minds can work rather like the predictive texting found on a mobile phone, and a prediction of what the sentence is expected to say? Dunno!

[Jane]

That reads quite normally for me

I just wish predictive text could read my mind and predict a bit more accurately!

     I do love predictive text though - use it all the time.

I do love predictive text though - use it all the time.

I'm afraid I've never got the hang of it. I started typing "Thanks" once, and after putting in "T-h=a" the b-----d phone changed it to "Ugh"... and when I managed to write half a sentence or so (which took me about half-an-hour), I wanted to use the word "Back" - I typed "B - a - c" and the phone completed the word as "Bacardi". Now I always turn off the predictive text! Of course, I suppose it doesn't help matters that quite a high proportion of the texts I send are in French.

I'd struggle with it too LC  I'm not even sure my phone does predictive text

    That could be the reason LC!
