My T9 snafu
We got our class pet, Nemo, the hermit crab last week (I wanted to name it Sebastian, but that’s another story). I don’t know much about hermit crabs, but knew there would be no one at school over the weekend to feed Nemo or wet his sponge, so I wrote an email to my kids parent’s (using my phone) and sent it out. Then after several odd responses from parents, i.e., “was that meant for us?” I finally checked my sent mail and realized what I wrote:
“Anyone interested in taking our arab home for the weekend?”
I know, it sounds bad, but really it was an honest mistake. See, I have my phone set to T9, or predictable type. . . and when you type 2722, ARAB comes up, not CRAB. Just thought you might want to know.
This is a cool T9 translator: http://www.t9.com

that's pretty funny.
HAHAHAHAHA
Okay the disgruntled human is Deep...just take credit for my very original and thought provoking comment, "HAHAHAHAHAHA"
That is amusing...and one of the reasons I never use T9
This is sure up there with ghoti :-)
Wait, by ghoti do you mean the cheap yet snobby Bengalis from Kolkata? I just typed in "ghoti" on T9 mode and got "hinti".... isn't that a Japanese anime character?
Different context :-)
