when you're nursing a viscious hang over it can be easy to think that you're mobile phone is having a bit of a laugh at your expense when "smirnoff" appears as "poisoned".

Pint=Shot
Cider=Cheer
Home=Good

I love T9 fuckups.

Those are excellent! Someone should translate famous poems into T9-speak, with all errors intact.

I like to use a translation site to go from english to something else and back to english again to get mucked up sentences. "All your base, are belong to us"

or

I use gladly a translation place to go of English to something of other, and back for English again to receive mucked on sentences. "All your basis, are belonged to us"

barmaid == carnage

somehow appropriate...

for the less alcohol-oriented (or more, depending) kiss = lips.

My poor friend Dunc always appears Dumb when I text his name.

good = home.

I once sent my flatmate a text asking:

"Will you be good tonight?"

!!!

These are totally hilarious.

kiss = lips

"I've been dating this gril for three weeks, do you think it's serious?" dating got mixed up with eating.

certain mis-t9'd words have entered my own speech. such as saying "book" instead of "cool".

I love these too and have been calling them "textagrams":

http://www.itsoverhere.com/textagrams/

I meant to text my girlfield saying:

do you want to "go out" tonight

but t9 decided that:

do you want to "in out" tonight

was flirtier. my girlfriend thought that I was somewhat presumptious.

hole = golf

i wanted to write to a friend quoting dave chappelle's rick james episode:

evening bitches

instead, out came:

evening chubies

i sent it anyway and it got a laugh.

bitches = chubies

I hate to ruin all the fun, but T9 just picks the most likely word combonations. If it is not the word you want, press the 0 key (which on my phone says 'next') and you can scroll through the other possible combonations. Thus, no more screwing up.

Yo, fucktard, read at least two paragraphs of the original post before enlightening us with your wisdom.

Tried to send an email regarding my Chinese friend Brian.

Instead, it came out Asian.

brian = asian

Strangely, the meaning was not lost, but it did elicit some laughs.

I am coming home now.

becomes:

I am coming good now.

Ducking hilarious.

Man, these are all so good. I'm going to have to collect 'em all into a new posting.

As to the guy who posted that you can toggle to the "next guess" if T9's first word-guess isn't correct ... heh, yes, I think everyone here knows that. It's just that we're usually ripping along so fast that we don't notice the weird mistakes T9 makes until we look up and read the whole sentence.

This is too much fun! I propose a contest to find the longest real word that can be typed on the least number of different keys on the mobile phone keypad (e.g., "babble" is 6 letters, but only requires three separate keys to type it out)

Oh, damn, that's really interesting!

I'm going to try some combos now myself ...

dont=foot

eg
I foot think Ill be there

It could be used like rhyming slang.

If T9's word choice is based on frequency of occurence in the language (e.g., "good'" vs "home"), then why does the most frequently-used word in the English language come up "duck"? Could there be sinister censorship going on here?

Here's a fun T9 "code word" game: whose name is contained in: 4367432874

I was trying to pass a copy of Mac OS X.3, "Panther" to my female friend, and I tried typing: When can I pass you your Panther? which showed up as When can I pass your panties? -- lucky I spotted that one before I sent it.

coal = anal = cock

i'm thirsty,fancy a riot?

My mother-in-law sent a text telling us that the front door on the property we had up for sale needed a "kick of saint" (lick of paint). It's an in-joke in the family now.

I've always called them "textonymns". Words of similar meaning are called synonyms, words or opposite meaning are antonymns, hence: textonymns.
Just my thought anyway.

43674328744!
Great! I'll have to show that one to some buds.
Mine's saying "GEORGEATSHI"
Directed at our beloved president?

A swedish classic, featured in the cartoon "Rocky":

A friend writing a kind SMS to his mother "Hope you'lll have some fun tonight", sends it away, only to find out that it has been T9ed into "Hope you'll have some dick tonight". Hilarious panic in his eyes. :-D

(Swedish translation: "Hoppas du får kul i kväll" and "Hoppas du får kuk ikväll". "Kul" = "Fun", "Kuk" = "Dick")

That "go out" = "in out" one is a fucker. Especially if the person's seen A Clockwork Orange

Y'know, every time I text 'go out', I now think of A Clockwork Orange.

I'm glad it's not just me.

I got inspired by Clive's comment that someone should translate famous poems. I put Frank Sinatra's classic "My Way" through an English-German-English translation at Alta Vista's Babel Fish.

** First, the original lyrics:

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.

I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and ev'ry highway;
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, I've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
"No, oh no not me,
I did it my way".

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!

** Now, the back-translation:

And now, the end is close;
And in such a way I confront the locking curtain.
My friend, I'll legends it free area,
I'll condition my case, of the I'm surely.

I've lived a life that's fully.
I've traveled each and ev'ry-Landstrasse;
But I did it to more, much more than this,
my way.

Regret, I've had some;
But on the other hand to mention too few.
I did, what I
and saw it had to do without release through.

I planned each sketched course;
To each careful step along the side way,
but more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

There was time, safe I'm you knew,
when I bit away from more, than I could chew.
But by it all, when there were doubts,
I ate it above and spit him out.
I confronted it to all and I stood highly;
And my way did it.

I've loved, laughed I've and cried.
I've had my abundance; my portion of losing.
And now, as tears you leave,
find I it everything to maintain in such a way.

Over to think everything did me that;
And I know legend - not in a shy way,
"No, OH -, which not I none am,
did I it mine way".

For what a man, which receive him, has?
If, then it has Naught.
The things say, which real it feels;
And not the words of one, who kneels.
The record appearance took I the impacts -
and did him my way!

I just want to know, if t9 predicts the most frequent words, why the t9 on my Samsung insists on predicting such unexpected defaults... Instead of smoothly breezing through such simple words as "is," "an/am," and "or," my phone slows me down by coming up as the respective predictions "gp," "bm," and "mp." Does that make sense to anyone???

Meg,
I think you must be in "multi-tap" mode, not "T9" mode when you typed those keys. Should be an option under "create/write message" enabling you to turn T9 on and off.

There's a hidden message in the string of numbers below. T9 will sort it out, but you need to guess where the breaks are in the phrase:

287447266766

Winner gets a week's vacation in Eye-Rack

My most common mistakes are

"bad" instead of "ace"
"lips" instead of "kiss"
"ripped" instead of "pissed"

I know I'm ripped but thanks for that bad lips

@ Bill:
2814 47 2 66766

:-)

Cool

I've had my fair share i'm sure, but I can't do bills message. My phone doesn't recognize it as a possible word beyond the 6th letter so it automatically switches to "edit word" mode.

Phones are getting smarter it seems...

not sure if this trick works for all brands of cell phones but i had a problem getting the word "f@cking" to work with the t9 feature of my LG phone-- in order to save time any words frequently misspelled or unspelled by the t9 can be forced into the "next" option just by entering the name in your phonebook. i have several numberless names in my phonebook now in order to save time while texting at stoplights or in between rounds of counter-strike.

Solorpnez: new words can be added to the T9 database by just switching to "multi-tap" mode and entering the word in that manner. The next time you use the word (while in T9 mode) the new word should be in the database. It might not be the first choice, since T9 "predicts" the word based on actual frequency of usage in the "normal" language. You'll probably find your custom word in third or 4th position. I think newer versions of T9 will actually promote the word to the top of the list if you use it frequently. Your particular word is obviously a very frequently occuring word in the normal language!!

Cool comment all around here!

I was placing a reminder in my cell phone to remind me to take a medication while I was swamped at work and I put it in without looking at it as I was busy working. 3 days later my alarm went off and I looked at it instead of saying take meds it said Take Off. As I sat wondering now three days later what that meant I started laughing when I recalled programming a reminder for that day.

I was in the movies and in the previews my phone rang but i hang up and text my friend back and say "ill ring you later im in movies' instead later i saw it said "ill ring you later im in mother"

"Awake" = "Cycle"

"mate, give me a shout if you're cycle"

hmm.

my mum went to vist her mother who was ill at the time. she sent me a note intending to say that GRAN IS MUCH BETTER...it read IRAN IS MUCH BETTER. priceless
