Not-so-predictive Text Entry or Genesis of not Clarinet
A...Al...Aka...Alas...Clash...Blarin...Blarind...Blarindu
I teach clarinet. My cell phone reminds me when it's time to put myself where my students are about to be. My cell phone, however, does not know the word 'clarinet'. Recent estimates suggest that there are nearly 458,000 clarinet players on Earth. Approximately 137,500 of them own cell phones.
And how many of them can't spell clarinet in their schedulers?
Too many, I say!
