Chris has become a needling blight of the local sham glam group according to his predictive text

- Chris

DO you ever get driven to distraction by predictive text and spell checkers? Tell me about it. I seem to fight a daily battle with the software to say what I want to say, rather than let the machine decide. To give you an insight into this struggle, here’s a normal edition of Meon Valley Man and underneath it a version as it might go if the predictive text had its way.

“We moved in to the Meon Valley twenty years ago and each year since we’ve learned more about its charms. Over the years, it’s a place we’ve found impossible to leave.

The landscape is of course appealing – old churches very much in evidence, with a backdrop of rolling hills and the trim fields kept neat and tidy by the grazing of sheep and cows.
