sarra commented on the list predictive-text-speak
I rifle through the electronic archives to see what words have been added to the personal dictionary of my 'phone from time to time. Among abbreviations, errors and names and items of personal or local significance, there are some odd ones, most of which you might expect to be part of the T9 dictionary already:
walking
glib
spontaneously
beauteous
watching
brilliant
justifying
subtext
unbearded
inevitability
vicarious
neverending
workshop
cellist
consultant
hostels
trying
better
albatross
(for some reason, it forgets how to spell things ending in -ing)

There's quite a lovely (if…er…predictable — though the ending, I think originally shown at the end of the programme, is a beauty!) sketch by Armstrong & Miller on T9's well-known “preferences”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hcoT6yxFoUM

Hee hee! Predictable maybe, but very funny.
It's a shame, though, that predictive text dictionaries couldn't be a bit more extensive. Although if they were I wouldn't encounter such amusing non-words as captaingog and volatus…
