Afternoon reds (and closet reds) happy Sundays to each and every one of you

I like many of you browse ja606 on my smartphone. Its quite a nice experience sat on the train listening to music while browsing through your comments and arguments. It stops being enjoyable however when I attempt to comment on an article.

Now I don't use small phones my last 3 have been a Galaxy note (5.3"), HTC Titan (4.7") and I am currently using a Galaxy SIII (4.8"). So it's not like I am using a tiny phone but i find typing on it impossible. Autocorrect changes "Falcao" to "Alcoa" or "Vidic" to "fiduciary" (no joke). It takes me days, i miss letters and punctuation and having to go back to fix something is fiddly and annoying!

Is this just me or does anyone else find typing on a smartphone impossible?

I had a split of Applied/Pure/Stats with the Applied being rock-hard.

The lecturer is a Russian genius but he expected everyone to just understand what he was talking about all of the time.

Well I can't wait for some stats and mechanical modules, because chances are i'll have covered them as well stats is my favourite anyway. Statistical algorithms

Hey, stats is my subject too, Ive always been interested in it from early in the Access course.

First year was so much theory but now my Stats module is computer-based and involves project work.

I want to be an Actuary but if I end up in something else Stats-related I will be happy enough.

Swiping is meant to be a pretty accurate way of typing. It works on an S3 I think so you could try that for names tho you'll have to add them manually to the dictionary

I only have a cheap galaxy ace but don't seem to find it much of a problem, obviously not as quick as on my laptop but not a major problem, maybe some of you have huge sausage fingers.

My brother used to do that. He said it was REALLY boring. He does company auditing now.

Try 'SwiftKey'. More then worth buying, it's superior to stock android keypad in everyway. Learns from your Facebook, email, previous texts, remembers commonly used phrases, long hold for symbols and numbers, auto space between words, it's easily the best I've ever tried (tried many, many on my Galaxy S3)
