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.

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.

I don't think I could do without predictive text now

 

[sarah]

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......

 

[entwisi]

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.

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".

IAN

no its not you can still put the full word in,EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE ON A PHONE you are not sending a text to another mobile.
Rules English only on this site. text speak is not english to a lot of people including ex-pats
