Talk:T9 (predictive text)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is there any way to remove a word that you added into T9? I accidentally added a typo a while back and now I can't remove it from its memory... Any ideas? Thanks! 88.154.21.7 14:51, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] T9 Slang
I removed the following text, as it is unsourced. The sources listed for this content were urban dictionary entries and a livejournal entry, neither are reliable sources. Feel free to put back any portion of this if reliable sources can be found:
- Since there are multiple possible words for any given key sequence, the T9 interface will often initially
- present a different word than the desired word. This gives rise to mental associations between otherwise
- unrelated words that happen to share a T9 key sequence, and in at least one case, such a mapping has entered
- the lexicon as slang: "book" as a substitute for "cool", based on the T9 key sequence 2-6-6-5. Another, less
- subtle, example of an ambiguous key sequence with associations between the mappings is that of 2-6-2-5 which
- yields both "cock" and "anal."
