okay here goes.
One go to control panel.
2 go to settings.
three go to general.
for
go to personalisation.
five go to language.
six Eric down until you are here predictive text. in your case it should say
on. I would imagine you would then press the select key to turn it off. The

you should have success. do letters know. apologies for the few minor errors
