This is the weekend where I learnt predictive texting

[bugshaw]

... mainly because it started out of nowhere and I can't figure out how to turn it off.

I can't deny it's much quicker than ordinary texting, but in all my wordplay I've never come across anything like the way agonies turn into binary and become chocolate as you type, the earlier characters changing to reflect new/now forbidden possibilities imposed by the later. There must be something in this...

Predictive text poetry - go on, you know you want to.

Tiger, tiger, burning argh
In the forests of the might
What immortal hand or eyes
Could frame thy fearful pyongyang?

(I do get symmetry if I type a fifth character there)

In wan2dt did lucka [word not in dictionary]
a stately pleasuredmof feared
where alph the sacred river ran..

Possibly an unfair challenge

'Twas brillii, and the slitgx voter
Did hype and ginale in the wabe:
All minsy were the corninter,
And the none paths multirace.

What would be cool is if you fed Jabberwocky into a predictive text engine and it came out making sense.

I always turned off predictive texting, it would turn gone into home, and sometimes it would say embarrassingly wrong things.

Smart phones on the other hand don't have it cos they have a keyboard, but they do autocorrect for apostrophes etc so I can just type im and get I'm, which is very handy.

I am always amused by the way I get Loony for Jonny.

I get Loomy. I suppose he is, kind of, to a short person :-)

Smirnoff is hilarious when typed into predictive text.
