Android predictive text keeps suggesting 'sit on my face,' and Google is fixing it

Cory Doctorow came close to a disaster when he texted his kids' babysitter, "Hey! Are you free to sit" and Android's predictive text came up with "on my face."
"Needless to say, I have never entered that string into my Android device," he insisted in his tweet.
