Words that are clearly words but your phone disagrees.
RobbieOC:
That's some progressive cunt right there, Jimmy.
karl gambolputty...:
My phone somehow, inexplicably, knows when I want to say 'of' and when I want to say 'me', and will give me the wrong one every time.
It also refuses to acknowledge "shan't"

Holy crap, you said SMS. That's real wireless industry lingo.
T9 is a pain in the ass. I tried to use it once or twice and then realized that I spent more time fighting to get the words I actually wanted than I would have spent just punching in the letters. It's probably because I refuse to abbreviate myself and T9 doesn't recognize real words. I also cuss a lot and it doesn't like those words either.
I send a maximum of 10 texts a month, almost always in response to someone else's text message, so any time savings either way doesn't make much of a difference.
Man, being in this thread just made me remember how much I hate cell phones.

I just type it in with the buttons, you know, hitting once for the first letter shown, twice for the second, three for the third, four for the number (three for the number sometimes, depending on key), what the hell are you doing?

I think I've sent all of maybe 20 texts in the 4 years I've had my phone. I did use texting a bit more frequently when I was living in europe, though. T9 is pretty handy, and although I curse a lot in my normal speech, I make do with cursing less when texting.
And while we're bitching about cell phones, a couple things that piss me off:
I'll call my roommate and leave him a message saying something specific, and not necessarily something that involves calling me back. Regardless, he'll call me back later and say "what'd you call for?" and never bothered to listen to my message.
And I'm sure it's been said plenty of times by now, but it's 2008. Cell phones are no longer newfangled devices that we still don't quite know how to use right. If you can't figure out how to turn your fucking cell phone off in class or during a movie or something, I should be allowed to inflict physical harm upon your person.
I've managed to make it through 4 years of college having my phone go off in class only once (that was after I first got it, and didn't realize there was a difference between "silence ringer" and "silence all," and I got a text in class. I didn't realize it was my phone until after class though, as that was the first text I had ever received and didn't recognize the ringtone). Yet for some reason, I see the same people repeatedly having their phone ring in the middle of lecture.
