  • QuickType sentences

    October 1, 2014

    I’m not sure if I can call these results haiku, but here they are.

    This was done on an iPad running iOS 8 using QuickType suggestions for each letter of the alphabet. I generally typed the first letter then just kept hitting the middle suggestion until I had what approximates a sentence/haiku.

    But sometimes I cheated a bit and hit the word to the left/right of center…

    And the rest of the year and the rest of the day

    But the only thing that would have to go back and I

    Can you not a fan since I got to see you soon enough

    Do I get a follow back on my way home

    Even though the day before I get a follow back

    For example in a while ago but the fact I can see you

    Good luck with the best of the year and I don’t think that I have a great way

    He was the best thing to say it was the best thing to say it was the best

    I’m so excited to be the first half of the year

    Just a few weeks of a sudden it is not the same thing

    Keep your eyes are the only one that is the only one

    Like the new version is the only thing

    My dad just told my dad just called my dad

    No I didn’t even get a new phone

    Oh I see the new version is the only thing that I can get

    Please don’t think that the only one that is a good time with the best of luck

    Quite good at all times in a statement issued by the end

    Really fun to use the term of office of a sudden it

    So much better if it is the only one that I can see

    The best thing ever I go back

    Up early for the next few weeks of a new phone

    Very fun to use the term of office of a new one that I have to go back

    We are going on with my dad just told my dad just

    Xylem to be a great day for the next few weeks

    You are the only thing that would have to be the best of luck

    Zylinder I have a good time with the same thing
