I love my iPhone and my iPhone loves me. But sometimes my iPhone likes to get a laugh by correcting what I type in my SMS messages into some strange statement right as I tap send.
For the most part, my iPhone predictive text is my best friend and we get along just fine. Over the past year and a half, the iPhone has learned my touch typing habits and done it's best to make the appropriate corrections. However, the predictive text system has the occasional slip-up. For example, the other day when I typed "nah" iPhone changed it to "bag". Yes, I can sorta see why as the corresponding letters are next to each other on the keypad. None the less, the recipient of my message was confused and I had to apologize for my iPhone, and we then both enjoyed a good laugh.
The predictive text corrections that surprise me the most are the ones that are known words. One such recent example is my iPhone changed "limes" to "lines". In fact, it just did it again as I painstakingly type this blog post out on my iPhone.
So I'm curious about iPhone predictive text fails others have encountered. How often do they happen and what is the strangest correction the iPhone has ever made to your text. Please share your experiences.
