Texting into hot water
Ever sent a message and relied too much on the T9 predictive dictionary to get it right? Ever been embarassed by the results? I sent 'sew my cut' to a medic colleague as part of a longer message - I didn't check it and it turned up on their screen as 'sex my but' which led to an interesting exchange.....
There must be lots of possibilities with 'no' and 'on' being confused - and I'm trying to collect examples and the stories that surround them. If you have any examples, please email them to me at the usual address, or to sms at russellbeale.com
