Word Prediction ...

Now that I am in India, I am using SMS' much more than when I was in the US. And I noticed something funny. When I was trying to type the word "amma" (Mother in Tamil), I keyed in 2 (a-b-c), 6 (m-n-o), 6 (m-n-o), 2 (a-b-c).

Before I got to amma, the options that Nokia's dictionary gave me were (in order):

Anna
Bomb
Bona
Coma
Comb
Conc
Amma

I found it funny (and a little disturbing) that bomb and coma were used more often than amma !
