It starts guessing after you've typed only one letter so the other day when I was trying to start a message with "Please" every bloody word beginning with P popped up. I don't know how to change it. Must get one of the kids to do it.Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462787118668544142.post-83724586010104062412008-06-26T11:13:00.000+01:002008-06-26T11:13:00.000+01:00Yes, and spell-checks on the homework don't help e...Yes, and spell-checks on the homework don't help either.

Been reading some classic metaphors in the Purplecoo general forum which also had me in stitches (brain has gone numb and can't remember any now). <BR/>Pub and church = classic combination. Every English village based around that combo...<BR/>Sorry, can't add to the toll - but do recall Melanie Richards (who was 'Good at English') coming up with the phrase 'the sun hung low like a burnished orb'. English teacher waxed lyrical about it (though seems a bit tired to me now, frankly) so - naturally - about ten of us all used it in our O level English mocks (and were unfairly accused of cribbing).Exmoorjanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230395732150659356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462787118668544142.post-31994086526046177052008-06-25T01:50:00.000+01:002008-06-25T01:50:00.000+01:00In my line of work, the funny lines are on college...In my line of work, the funny lines are on college students' resumes.
