Revenge of unintended consequences...it is so book...

A jargon watch pundits (brief or long) have pointed out that "book" is the new "cool". Now many of us already knew this to be true...but it is now breaking into the "normal" world. Well, maybe not normal, it is breaking into the T9 world. T9, for those who do not know, stands for "Text on 9 Keys"...that is, typing alpha on the numeric keyboard of a cell phone.

Apparently, "2665" is the T9 for "cool"....however, it is also "book" *and* comes up first in the predictive dictionaries most phones include. As a result, many people who are really book use book for book because it saves one keystroke. Technology is so book!
