Return of Predictive Text

The5thMaryThe5thMary Shipmate
in The Circus
Heyyy! Anybody up for yet another round of the ol' cellphone predictive text game?

I will create a perfectly normal sentence and then fill in the blanks with whatever my cellphone suggests to me.

For Lent 2024, what three things will you be giving up? I plan on giving up UPDATES. And also, RED SOX. And the third item? BAKED TABLES.

    For Lent I will be giving up a couple of hours, a little bit more of my day and an exciting afternoon!

    For Lent, I will be giving up the opportunity to work, a thesaurus and a couple of bars.

    I tried replacing the words but it didn’t flow easily so I went with this:

    For Lent 2024, I will be giving up my job, and my family and my friends.

    Oh dear.

    Heavenlyannie: That sounds terrible! Poor dear.

    You type the opening words as suggested by the OP and then continue the sentence with the predictive text suggestions until you reach an artistic conclusion.

    For Lent 2024 I will be giving up my life for you and your family.

    (Gulp! does predictive text know something I don’t? :worried: )

    For Lent 2024 I will be giving up on the phone and I will be there in the morning.

    For Lent 2024 I will be giving up on the phone instead of just the right to be in Vernon on Tuesday morning.

    My phone doesn’t appear to have this feature—or it’s turned off. Probably a good thing, given my crankiness. I’d be throwing the phone across the room too often.

    For Lent 2024 I will be giving up my phone for the next few months because of my new computer.

    Does not really sound very Lenten… or practical, for that matter… (unless my new computer is another phone…)
