made up words

Comments (3)

Sometimes I make up words.
Today I was txting Laura some of my made up words.
So when I was txting those new shawnwords, my cell phone was trying to finish them for me...

I typed....
ger

And it finished the word as "gerchanovsky"

What the?

What cell phone finishes any word starting with "ger" as "gerchanovsky"????

I think I am on to unlocking the mysteries of the universe.
Either that or I found a joke a programmer (Alex Gerchanovsky?) played on Motorola.
Its one of those two options.
I will get to the bottom of it.

Hmm, I only get as far as herba.

Which got me thinking.

Where do we go from herba?

I was thinking herbaceous, but we got to herbab before herbacious, which then became herbabe - at which point I stopped for fear of the whole thing becoming dodgy...

I think my phone (motorola) has a different software for finishing words. Its not T9, or whatever its called. It is different than the way T9 finishes words.
its weird.

Nearest I can tell is that this guy alex worked for Motorola at one time...
cool trick.

Hmmm... I think that "txting" might be a made up word too. ;)
