We made a wiki page about T9, related to this post. http://cognections.typepad.com/lifeblog/2007/01/t9onym_wikipedi.html (our stuff was later folded into another entry) In another story, I have a colleague who chronically misspells in t9. One day he used a word that came out 'poetigog' which seemed appropriate for the sentence where poetigog means a mixture of poetic injustice and agog. Heh.

'Shiv' is halfway to 'shiver' and 'teste' is nearly 'tester'. I love the way 'book' is used instead of 'cool' in UK street-slang because it comes up as the first T9 word out of the two.

This made (I believe) a lot of kids start saying stuff like "that's well book" in RL. I think my favourite has to be that book comes up before cool in T9.

Last time I was in NY I sent Russ the message "The key to successful subway riding is to shiv the first people who smiles at or talks to you." Sure, I've struggled with the lack of shit more often than I've been impressed with the presence of 'shiv', but in that particular case I was happy it was there. I have a counter-example!!!
