Actually entering the space affects the autocomplete so for the surname ones you often get to checkmate as soon as you type space.

FYI

A is for Amazon, for buying CDs.
B is for Best Buy, another shop. Jeez.
C is for Craigslist, more buying and selling.
D is for Dictionary, quite useful for spelling.
E is for Ebay. I'm sensing a trend.
F is for Facebook, add as a friend?
G is for Gmail, I use this a bit.
H is for Hotmail, some old fucking shit.
I is for Ikea, with wacky-named beds
J is for John Lewis (over non-Britishes heads)
K is for Kohls. God knows what that is
L is for Limewire, friend of the music biz
M is for Myspace - it's Facebook for kids
N is for Next, more spending of quids
O is for Obama, first dude at the top
P is for Photobucket, I can tell it's a shop
Q is for Quotes which are QFT
R is for Ryanair, cheap flights to Paris
S is for Southwest Airlines, my metre fails
T is for Target, clothes, furniture, sales.
U is for Utube, I hope that's not porn
V is for Verizon Wireless (yawn)
W is for W. Recursive but true.
X is for X. That thing dance fans do.
Y is for Youtube. The real one this time
And Z is for Zavvi which frankly is a bitch to rhyme.
