At clapham yesterday we started taliking about how when you type some words / names into your phone, Predictive text comes up with some strange variations that are sometimes not even real words!!!

example

Bournemouth = Coupodontui (poss. a planet in star wars)

and others besides. Has anyone else noticed this? if so have you got any good examples?

A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.

I read recently about a kid who got hold of his dads mobile - and text 'you are a wanker' to everybody in his address book.
But the best fun is 'pocket dialing' when your phones not locked and randomly calls people whilst in your pocket. Ive heard some interesting stuff that way...

Tomorrows World isnt on anymore...Does that mean its tomorrow now?

My little sister gets hold of my Dad and older sisters mobiles and goes crazy playing games and trying to call people. I never leave my phone alone when she's home.
As for pocket calls, i reviece MILLIONS of them. My name beginning with not just A, but AA, i'm 99% of the time the first person in everyones phone books... as Melemel said, its a good way to find things out *wink*
