"This post is not the best thing to say, but the only thing that I can do is to make it a little easier for me to do. If you don't mind, I'll send it out to you and I will get it done by the end of the day. If you don't mind, I'll give it a shot and see how it turns out." This nonsense was typed using only words that auto suggest on my android suggested. This cell phone thinks it knows what I want to say. Ha! How's your relationship with auto suggest?

Not really a coherent thought in that output, is there?

I thought it would be interesting to see what I could type using only those suggestions. Very boring.

@1creekgirl If we, as a people, keep letting auto suggest write for us, I believe our brain will shrivel away.

@GardenGerty I really agree with you! I could always spell words pretty well, but my brain is forgetting.

Huh

? I may have used auto suggest on teeny phrases, but I didn't know it could write out all that. Nope, it isn't going to speak for me!

It knows me pretty well. Sometimes I can type whole phrases sentences using the suggestions. It's trying to learn (I have an iPhone) and I'm pretty fast with it.

@1creekgirl I disabled mine. I don’t like others speaking for me.

I have one situation where I use it regularly to type the same message on the bus route. Other than that, not so much a relationship at all.

Sometimes people suggest a sentence starter and then you let your text predictor finish the sentence. A silly, fun, game. Text predictor helps me for mystery shop reports. I need the same words so often. Like Customer Service Representative, so nice to not have to type that every time.

I can see the advantage of that.
