I have a question about the "predictive" keyboard shown in one of those
movies - what on earth is the justification for providing the following
predictions - User input is on the left, prediction is on the left:

w - a
wo - so
wor - wot
worl - work
world - ? (I'm not sure what was the prediction, but at this point it's
moot... It was probably wrong, anyway.)

The qtopia keyboards do the same braindead thing. They're perfectly unusable
as a result. The handwriting recognition engine appears to be wired into the
same "prediction" engine, resulting in letters that were recognized
correctly to be randomly replaced with incorrect letters.

Is this a bug, or is that the intended behavior?
