Same here Willow. I find it easier with the predictive text messaging on and using real words.

Me as well.

After you've spelled the word once it even remembers them, because unlike me they are not made with a foul vocabulary.

Re: Using Phone Text

I use predictive text. It's far easier.
It took me ages to get my head round it at first.
Mick uses normal text and thats only if and when he has to.
When he does he's a man of few words.

Re: Using Phone Text

I don't like predictive txt, I forget wot word I'm trying to spell, cos I'm thinking faster than I can type, and the word starts off looking like nothing that I'm actually gonna put......

Re: Using Phone Text

I find I can use either. I switch depending on what I am saying. If its persoanl then t9 is on. If its work then its normally off(Most words not in the dictionary although my t9 dictionary is getting a lot of technical terms in it now. )

Come on Mick, You haven't said if I'm OK to use TEXT SPEAK if I'm logged on via my mobile.

Re: Using Phone Text

I agree with only using plain ish English in posts, even if you are using your mobile Ian it is easier to understand. I just had a quick look at the rules and can't spot anything about "text speak".
