How often do you you get caught out by predictive text?

I'm sure I've sent more than a few messages where the wrong word has crept in and had a few close calls (mainly when hammered) but not been majorly caught out yet.... Earlier today I did ask my mate who I hadn't seen in a while whether he wanted to meet in Sheffield for a riot this weekend instead of a pint :o

But anyway does anyone have any amusing predictive- text- related stories? (There must be a few- especially with custom dictionaries) :D

I've got an amazing ability to send perfectly legible text messages using predictive text no matter what state of drunkenness I'm in!

And I'm not usually caught out because I proof-read my messages :o

It's more to do with trying to keep it all to 1 txt so it only costs me 10p.

Why did you edit all those capitals into your post? :confused:

You're about three posts away from mine and probably a lot of other people's ignore lists if you keep typing like that.

On topic, my old phone used to output 'lomblers' when you keyed 'knockers', so girl's chesty bits briefly became known as lomblers for me.

Is it because you're trying to type every word in with a god-damn capital letter at the start by any chance?
 
Just before a Scotland rugby game a few years ago, the presenter pointed out that if you put 'scots' into predictive, it comes out as 'pants' :D
 
Type my name, Rich, then check the options it gives. At least I tend not to accidentally follow it with a question mark.
 
I spend about a week on a new phone teaching it Goodwin-isms and general random derogatory terminology! I managed to get "ducksmals" this morning :D
