odd dictionary

[venta]

Does 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.

My phone recognises "sausage" and "armchair" in the singular, but neither of their plurals.

A good game is to try and get your phone to predict strange words instead of the one you're actually thinking of. I had some great ones, but they've temporarily slipped my mind, probably due to mobile phone radiation.
