After using a work-supplied Treo for two years, I had to go back to my college-era LG phone after being let go and having my phone snatched back (not that I’m really complaining about losing a phone that ran on a Windows operating system).   Soon after returning to this phone, a phone I actually care for very much, I became increasingly frustrated with its limited T9 vocabulary.  Thus here is a sampling of words T9 doesn’t know (apparently it’s main blind spot is food):

• Spinach
• Artichoke
• Bagels (but not “bagel”)
• Texted (ironic)
• Freshener
• NYU
• Mets (but yes to “Yankees”
