my predictive text knows the word torah but not torch

That is a very cool and silly thing.

I'm wondering if you could psychologically profile the programmer by analysing what words it knows and doesn't know, there are some very bizarre inclusions and ommissions . . .

liked the hair, btw!

I had a phone which didn't order alphabetically but by usage and it's default ordering of words was very odd.
I was wondering if some of the omissions were words now more commonly written with the number 8 (for example) but that doesn't explain the lack of 'torch'.

Maybe we're too old and the youth of today all use LEDs and phones?

Still getting used to the hair but I like it :-)

A boring response: Maybe it's using American English?

ooo, because they call them flashlights you mean? yeah, you're probably right

btw, I'm thinking of coming to the pub one Thu (or random other excuse to see Egham people) because Dark Ages keeps on clashing with people's birthdays and I won't see people for months otherwise, not this week though

Cool, let me know when and I'll go to the pub too - I've been a bit rubbish about going lately...
