Ok try this. In a text, try and type the word YOURE (with no apostrophe). Notice how when you get to the E, it absolutely will not let you type it. If you move your thumb around, it will shift between the W and the R to the left and right of the E, but the E will be unavailable to type. The best I've been able to type is YOURR. Ironically, after you give up and type YOURR, the predictive texting will suggest YOU'RE and if you press space, your YOU'RE will be there like you wanted.

I don't think we notice these types of things too often since predictive texting is good enough to eventually get the word you want after you press space. Just thought I'd point out this oddity.
