My favorite word to write when doing T9 on my cell phone is “going.”

Matt, no joke, I just told someone the same thing earlier today. Haha.
I’ve never found that compelling enough to tell the world about it, but I know exactly what you mean. It’s such a fun little combination of letters! 🙂
Actually, I’ve been noticing the same thing over the last few weeks… back forth, back forth.. I dont know why its so amusing.
[shrug]
Ok, we’re all insane. I was just thinking this exact same thing yesterday.
Gotta love how the human brain identifies patterns for absolutely no reason. It’s great!
4-6-4-6-4, 4-6-4-6-4, gone!
My phone doesn’t use the T9-esque tech so I find I abbreviate words till they’re nearly unreadable. I.E. Mrk gng 2 mll 2 gt clths
Mainly it involves taking out the vowels, and substituting numbers for words… pretty much “1337 5P34K” for phones heh. it’s easier and ppl seem to understand it easier as i develop a “txt msg relationship” with them.
There are others like this that I always find fun to type, but I can’t think of them off the top of my head.
Try this: type good and then scroll through the next two. “Good. Home. Gone.” So sad…
Also there is a certain curse word that is spelled the same with T9 as “ducking”. What I can’t figure out is why the Finns hate the word so much (despite being famous for using it in person) that they put it after “ducking” AND “dublini”. Huh?
‘going’ is a fantastic word to type on a phone. Particularly as you have to go through ‘imho’ first. Gets me every time.
High and feed are also fun words to type. Where fun == moderately pleasing.
I gave up on T9, and bought a Nokia 6800. Mmmm, Qwerty goodness!
i love it. 4-6-4-6-4!
Ever noticed how ‘pint’ and ‘shot’ are the same combination of keys?
Or what about ‘fat’ and ‘eat’?
I just tried this on a Siemens CF62T, and I agree. I can barely type other words, though.
