I NEVER use predictive texting - I never say hello and I never say goodbye - it`s an electronic postcard or a telegram ( ask yer dad ) a simple way of communicating quickly and regularly - why the problem ?What next - predictive f*rting - it knows you want to but waits `til you`re outside of the courtroom ?
Predictive speech - could sound like Tyrett`s Syndrome.
Predictive Photos - click the button but it waits until it likes the shot ?
Sheesh....................take a chill pill guys and gals - life does not have to be about speed every day.

Perhaps people with bad experiences of T9 just can't spell very well!

Actually, I was formally taught programming in my second year at Uni (at age 50, no less ) on a Commodore Pet. Back to the room, do the exercise on my Apple II, into the department the next morning and convert into Commodore Basic, and save the file for the Lecturer to review.
Little did I think that only 12 years later I would be teaching Human-Computer Interaction at Masters level (brag).
Now I have to figure out why I got the WB wrong on some indoor shots this afternoon. Oh this modern technology.

Seriously though with T9, if the word you want isn't the first one up, a simple press of a button gives the next most common word.
