Predictive text input in mobile phones ... the instrument of Satan. How many relationships shattered because of texts sent without checking what was typed in. So what was the word the OP meant to use?Originally posted by Stanley76 View Post

That was my first theory, but look: deSPIte / deFOLIAte, the number of suggested letters does not match. Is the predictive input algorithm this clumsy? I have no idea because this is the first thing I turn off every time I buy a new phoneOriginally posted by Stanley76 View PostProbably 'despite'

I think you also need to factor in the amount of alcohol consumed at the time as well as Beefy's big fingers. What difference will a couple of extra presses make :drunk:Originally posted by Kirill View PostThat was my first theory, but look: deSPIte / deFOLIAte, the number of suggested letters does not match.
