The following rant,
for want of a better word, is from my Dad. I am amazed at how our writing styles
are so similar. I think this may be where I get my sarcastic, stroppy side. J
I know I'm too old to really understand texting: the buttons are too small, my
eyesight is not great, and I insist on all the spelling, spacing and punctuation
being correct, so I often acknowledge incoming texts with just “OK”.
So can anyone tell me why predictive text replaces my “OK” with “MONKL”?
It’s not an English word; I have never texted it before; “OK” doesn't even start
with an M; so why would it predict that I wanted a word that doesn't even exist?
I know it’s all done by computer algorithm, but someone must have been paid to
programme it and thought MONKL was a good idea. That’s madness.
If anyone is passing my house, walk fast, because a phone could fly through the
window any minute now.

Check the predictive text language. Also only press the respective keys once not the normal multiple times you would if predictive text was turned off.
