Maybe you have a blackberry or an iPhone so you are no longer concerned with the problems presented by t9 predictive text. But for the rest of us, it can get really annoying when you want to say one thing...and end up sounding like an idiot.

Most Common Mistakes

me = of

if = he

*sh*t* = shiv  SHIV??

"I'm so tired I just wolf up."

Wolf? Seriously? Before woke?

Though, I suppose if you ever were in a situation that required you to text the word wolf, it would be best if it would come up first.

I want to say: cool

My phone says: book

Ok, do I EVER want to text the word “book”?  Come on.

I want to say: *f**k* (without the asterisks)

My phone says: dual or duck

Really?  I have to guess that the f-bomb is one of the most popularly texted words, and you don’t even put it in your t9?  What, because some little kid might accidentally say it?  Please.

The iPhone Might Not Solve Your Problems...

The iPhone also does predictive text— I’m sure there’s a way to turn it off, but I’m either too dumb or lazy to figure it out.

I want to say: home

My phone says: good

“movies” and “mother” if making certain kinds of jokes or innuendo, you shouldn’t mix them up

And vice versa I suppose.

My phone says: hit

Is it trying to tell me something??

I want to say meal, the phone says neck “want to come over to mine on monday for a neck?” great

I say loud, the phone chooses love

any = boy, or cow or box or bow

kiss=lips (cute)

My phone refuses to spell sombrero correctly.

Good thing I only need to spell that maybe once a year?

I call these t9-onyms.. yay for qwerty. FYI.. although “bitch” has to be used sparingly.. word to the wise when texing on autopilot and not proofing before sending – its the same sequence as chubi.. and whats WAY worse is if you decide to send the originally intended “bitch” after the fact.. reading in chronological sentence order… Chubi Bitch. To which I received an unmitigated reply of, “MY FRIENDS AND I ARE LOOKING FOR YOU!” Needless to say.. never spoke to her again. Lesson learned. Dual that shiv, yo.

I have to pay more attention! I know this happens to me all the time…I just can’t remember the exact words!

The iPhone has an auto-correct feature that drives me nuts. I’ll type the word I want, for example blog, and it will change it into slog or some stupid crap like that. Yet, if I type firbig…it let’s that stay. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
