I'd call it "interesting" rather than weird, but hey-ho... I think most
phones nowadays tend to learn which option you usually go for and present it
first in future. Nice idea apart from on little commonly used words- you
never know which it will pick!

Do you not get a choice? On my K750i 66 gets me "no" or "on" (and maybe
others) 63 gets me "me" or "of" (amo). The first is highlighted, scroll
down to the correct one and continue. Do some phones not have this
option when using predictive text?

On my phone at least (6230), it will default to one option, and you can
select from the alternatives if the default is not the one you wanted.
