lyrics

iTAPEN

I have predictive text software on my cell phone
that attempts to guess the words that I will type.
I am curious because the words in the software's dictionary are not, what I would think, popular choices...

When I start to type "people"
I get "Pensacola"
Can my phone really think that's a
More common choice to be used in a text message?

When I start to type "I'd"
I get "G'day"
A contraction I've never used in my life.
(but I just might start)

"Still" is predicted as "7th" (I guess for 7th inning)
"Walk" gets "Y2K" (big news 7 years ago...)
"Synagogue" gets "symbioses" (a relationship of species)
"Vagina" gets "vaginae"?
(I had no idea that was the plural)

When I start to type "Christopher"
I get "Christchurch"
I had to look this up, it's a city in New Zealand.

Funnily enough, "gastrointestinal" it gives me off the bat...

But when I start to type "salary"
My phone in all it's infinite wisdom gives me a word
I've never heard: "Rajarshi"
