odd dictionary
Jan. 21st, 2003 03:49 pmDoes anyone know what criteria must be met for a word to be included in a mobile phone's default predictive-text dictionary?
My phone (which is Sony Ericsson) seems to have an odd selection... today it didn't know 'inauspicious' - which didn't surprise me. It also didn't know 'bastard', but did know 'conjure' - both of which surprised me.

Great!
