Predictive text : glue and gluh

I typed in gluh wein which I presume is German, meaning a warm wine. In English you might say a grog, hot toddy, hot punch, mulled wine. Predictive text suggested glue win. If you are fast enough you can click on the X after the suggested word to stop that word replacing the one you have typed.

Glue - substance which sticks one object to another (can be used metaphorically - eg I was glued to his words)
Glühwein - literally glow wine, warm wine
gluh
wein German for wine
wine - alcoholic drink made from grapes
win verb, or noun, to win, opposite of lose a competition
