I took Kelly to see Bryan Adams last year for a birthday present surprise....anyway when I was texting people to say where we were the predictive text typed ASLAN BEAM instead of Bryan Adams, so people thought we'd gone to see ASLAN BEAM in concert.  I had it on email years ago, and I had a client called Doug Boone, and it kept trying to change it to Dog Bone | |

I don't know about that but...my students actually say " IDK" instead of " I don't know" in class. In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

 at the number of people who also do not understand how to use predictive text. It doesn't seem very predictive any time I've tried to use it--I thought maybe I was just stupid, but obviously I'm not since a lot of you don't get it either. 
(although as an aside, the bit about what certain words are "translated" to reminds me a little bit about how Cockney slang started, according to what I've read...) | |

Didn't they use that in a Verizon commercial? Yeah that's where they got it from. In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

I think they ask creative kids sometimes who make stuff up, like "all the kids are starting to wear suspenders but they go under your crotch now instead of over you shoulders" "girls are starting to do sexual favors for_____" "Texting is out, kids are using bongs to send smoke signals" "forget syrup, the new high is a 'suberbad' cocktail with laundry detergent & bleach in it!"

I can't stand predictive text. As a teenager I would be completely out of the loop. | |
