Predictive text is at best a time saver, and at worst a life destroyer.

Most phones now have some function that predicts phrases or words while texting. Apple, for example, uses predictive text "based on your past conversations, writing style, and even websites you visit in Safari." The idea is to make it easier and quicker to send messages, but the algorithm is often finicky or downright embarrassing.

However, some clever people have created prompts to turn this tool into a fun game that often says a little toomuch about your texting habits.

Play this texting game with your friends, but just be aware what it may reveal about your phone habits.

1. "I drink"

The term "drinking problem" doesn't begin to cover some of the things predictive text told them they were consuming.

2. Horoscope mayhem

Hank Green prompted his followers to let predictive text be their zodiac guide. The results were as disastrous as you could imagine.

3. "I'm marrying an"

This prompt led to more than a few marriages to inanimate objects.
