First of all, please allow me to sincerely and humbly apologize for my expressive post, that started this thread off. I am on a number of medications; BUT, that's no excuse for my ranting.
I'm VERY appreciative of all the people that offered suggestions, when you don't know me; and by the way that I presented myself, if I were the people that replied, I wouldn't have suggested anything.
BUT, I am sincerely appreciative for all your suggestions.
SO - - - I bought both SwiftKey 3 Pro and Jellybean Pro keyboards.
Having been a geek for years (my first computers were a Sinclair 1000 - that I built myself and a Commodore Vic 20), in a head to head comparison (sounds like the title of Bill Clinton's next book), I definitely like the

I definitely prefer SwiftKey 3 Pro.
Throughout my entire life, I have always turned off predictive text; as sometimes it can get one into trouble.
SwiftKey's "learning my written style" feature seems to capture the true essence of me significantly better than the Jelly Bean keyboard does / did.
Again; please allow me to express my gratitude for those of you who tried to help me out, even though I appeared to be a grump.
That's why this is the best Android blog in existence.
