Electronics word guesser on iOS 8.0 texting is horrible

Geez, you think they could have put a lookup-table for words most likely to follow the previous two-word combination. Or used some kind of neural net.

Example:

That makes me very ______ (happy/much/well)

Two of the choices are very unlikely. Did the programmers at Apple just say, eh, close enough? I'd be embarrassed to be associated with that product.

The more you use it, the more it learns.

That being said, I just use Swype.

I went back to iOS 7.1.2. iOS8 sucks on the 4s.

I think it's more like the 4S sucks for iOS 8. I'm having the same issues with my iPad Mini. It's no bueno.

All my apps would take a second longer to load. Hell when I use my light it had a half second delay. It was annoying.

first world problems.

They should have never included the 4s in that update.

Yeah, the iPad mini has a slightly newer processor, I think. The only time I notice the performance hit is on Safari. But I switched to Chrome and it's way better.
