i'll admit it, i was texting while driving tonight. or as they say on the local news: distracted driving. please don't tell the highway patrol because i don't need anymore tickets.

brilliant invention: someone needs to create a verbal recognition texting system especially for me so i can continue to try and do too many things at once with aplomb.

i was chatting with my friend about weekend plans, when all of a sudden my cell phone went all colonial on me and started adding the suffix "burg" to everything.

the parker hotel=parkersburg

my friend sean=seansburg (not to be confused with my favorite sparkling wine schramsberg)

my pomeranian=diorsburg

it's not the first time that the predictive text function on my iphone has caused laughter and embarrassment.

one time, again while driving, i texted someone "okee dokee" and iphone turned it in to the very cryptic "omer dikes." (perhaps the new name for a hebrew waterway?)

i am completely fascinated by predictive texting strangeness. if you have had a texting mishap please tell me about it: melinda@944.com.

how does it knowsburg. howsburg does it know.
