Talk:1427: iOS Keyboard
XKCD references on the XKCD wiki? Who would've thought... 141.101.104.197 06:58, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
- I'm so meta even this acronym.

I believe that the ios word prediction is personalised based on your previous sentences. My Android autocomplete comes up with "Elementary, my feast of the United Kingdom", and "Toto, I've a feeling we're not going to Switzerland"... --Pudder (talk) 07:53, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
- I imagine it is, but it's still interesting to see the defaults before you've added much to the dictionary. I believe this is what Randall is up to. 108.162.216.209 13:00, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
What about adding a reference to XKCD Questions[1]? --Jkotek (talk) 09:07, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
Wasn't there XKCD comics about keyboard prediction starting from blank state? --JakubNarebski (talk) 09:57, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

I thought some of the humor for the LoTR reference was the Gimli's dad was a character in The Hobbit. Obviously, Randall didn't work this in, but it could've affected his choice to feature this one in the comic Djbrasier (talk) 16:35, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
Given the outcome of the Scottish referendum on secession, it seems to me that the iOS-updated version of Wallace's quote is perfectly appropriate. --141.101.64.125 23:01, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
Wallace didn't fight the British, he fought the English. 141.101.98.195 (talk) 12:17, 30 November 2014 (UTC) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
Incomplete, anyone? Or is this wiki just goigo explain jokes Randall himself has made? It's probably the latter case, since nobody seems to have had a problem in four years. 172.68.46.41 05:49, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
William Wallace's quote actually goes "They can take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom". 172.68.253.149 01:59, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
Shouldn't the quote shown in the illustration at the top be explained too? It's not a movie per se, but still. --Theanswertolifetheuniverseandeverything (talk) 00:57, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
I have iOS 17, so let's see what it does!
Say hello to my little [brother for me] Toto, I have a feeling we're not [going to be able to get a good deal on the new car] Bond, James Bond [and I are going to be in the same boat as you] I am a leaf on the wind. Watch [and I am a little bit of a bit of a mess] Goonies never say [no] You have my sword. - And my bow. - And my [heart] Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You [can call me at your convenience to discuss the issue] Revenge is a dish best served [with a little bit of salt] They may take our lives, but they'll never take our [breath away]

- A lot of those are even better than the ones in the original comic. 172.68.23.222 19:48, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
um, I think that that last quote, its kinda right. they may take our lives but they'll never take our money is one of the wrong quotes the wee free men say in the book, the wee free men by Terry Pratchett. same as, there can be only one thousand, and you take the high road il take your wallet 73.132.167.116 20:04, 15 September 2026 (UTC)
- I the WFM/NMF have said "They can tak' oour lives but they cannae tak' oour troousers!". Whether or not they said the "money" version, but something as abstractive in value as money isn't really their thing. 78.151.45.228 20:46, 15 September 2026 (UTC)
- im 89% sure it was the money. though the second 2 are DEFINITLY real ones, I checked 73.132.167.116 21:28, 5 October 2026 (UTC)
