RE: the dictionary on the i-phone

2011-12-19 Thread Paula Hobley
I have the same issue when texting, it's really irritating! I'm not sure how
to fix it either.  My pet hate is when I want to use a word that's not in
the dictionary and it won't let me use it.

Subject: the dictionary on the i-phone

is there a way of getting the options and words in the dictionary 
on the i-phone when a word is queried when texting?
i have tried the rota and swiping and i cannot seem to be able to 
access words or the options and you cannot seem to be able to 
press space or enter on a word you wish to accept because if it 
queries with the wrong word and you try to change it, it just 
puts the wrong word back again.
none of the options in the rota seem to give me access when i am 
texting and a word is queried.
deleting a character at the end of the word sometimes brings up 
the right choice first time but hitting enter or space changes it 
back to the word that it first comes up with rather than the one 
you want.
i know one person told me she switches off the dictionary because 
she uses the same bluetooth keyboard as me which is the bt 
freedom but i don't always wish to carry a bluetooth keyboard 
around with me as it is still pretty bulky when foldered down and 
normally needs a larger pocket for carrying it in.

If you want to reject a word swipe down and double tap to reject it and keep 
typing. It will learn what you mean eventally.

Also you only get one word so  there ya go.
