Just some thoughts....using my phone to comment is the worst, are my fingers too fat? I'm checking very carefully here. There's been some priceless ones from Linda recently 😂

I have problems texting on my phone, and as I’m dyslexic the predictive text plays merry hell with my messages.  Many years ago I used a Psion (pre IPad ) I worked with people who were suffering sever mental illness and on of the patients was quit unwell and lashed out knocking  the Psion from my hand.  I later called my boss to ask if it could be replaced who said to email or text her explaining what had happened. So I text saying The Psion I use for work has been damage beyond repair will you authorise a replacement. About an hour after I had a phone call from my boss asking what the hell  was I texting, she was trying very hard not to laugh, the message she received was The passion I use for work has been damaged beyond  repair will you authorise a replacement. You can imagine the fun that caused and the jokes at my expense.

Ha ha Paul - the most infuriating is when you press to send and, too late, the mistakes get sent.

That’s me, I read it it looks fine I then notice a change as it goes off. It’s the little changes that I don’t notice.

Ooohhh, I hate predictive text, and I don't know how to switch it off on my phone!  I don't use the mobile phone much though (can barely read it, even with glasses on), so its main use is just as an alarm clock!

Why is it that you can't buy a phone without an inbuilt camera, but you can't buy a camera with an inbuilt phone?
