Default Jack and kill went up the hull! - Perils of a 7100r user

Mark, great article, now how about one for the new keyboards on the 7100 series? Somedays I wonder what the dictionary is thinking if I rapid type without looking. It may be my fat thumbs hitting the wrong keys, or maybe it really is some bizarre language that RIM has put in to get the last laugh. My wife sure did after I sent her a message while under the influence. I had been out holding that day, but since holding=golfing the message sort of lost it's point. I think the time is ripe for a BB Synonym dictionary based on the various words you can type with the same keys. For example:
skill:skull
are:see (this one is annoying!)
deaf:dead
is:us (another annoying one)
art:set
for:foe:doe
test:tray
dog:fog:doh
cat:vat:cay


How about a contest for the most words created by certain key combinations?

The dark side of this list, would be those words which appear to have no meaning and would be questioned on many a scrabble board.

It does sort of remind me of the old Newton days. But, I do love my 7100r just the same.
