[Origin: 1275�1325; 1950�55 for def. 5; ME gai < OF < Gmc; cf. OHG gāhi fast, sudden]
�Related forms
gayness, noun
�Synonyms 1. gleeful, jovial, glad, joyous, happy, cheerful, sprightly, blithe, airy, light-hearted; vivacious, frolicsome, sportive, hilarious. Gay, jolly, joyful, merry describe a happy or light-hearted mood. Gay suggests a lightness of heart or liveliness of mood that is openly manifested: when hearts were young and gay. Jolly indicates a good-humored, natural, expansive gaiety of mood or disposition: a jolly crowd at a party. Joyful suggests gladness, happiness, rejoicing: joyful over the good news. Merry is often interchangeable with gay: a merry disposition; a merry party; it suggests, even more than the latter, convivial animated enjoyment. 2. brilliant.
�Antonyms 1. unhappy, mournful.
�Usage note In addition to its original and continuing senses of �merry, lively� and �bright or showy,� gay has had various senses dealing with sexual conduct since the 17th century. A gay woman was a prostitute, a gay man a womanizer, a gay house a brothel. This sexual world included homosexuals too, and gay as an adjective meaning �homosexual� goes back at least to the early 1900s. After World War II, as social attitudes toward sexuality began to change, gay was applied openly by homosexuals to themselves, first as an adjective and later as a noun. Today, the noun often designates only a male homosexual: gays and lesbians. The word has ceased to be slang and is not used disparagingly. Homosexual as a noun is sometimes used only in reference to a male. :con?

I assume, since you use "gay" as if it's an insult you're around 13?
So you don't need a dictionary since you lot all make up words and abbreviate anything with more than 3 letters anyway...

lol That has to be one of the funniest thread titles I've seen in ages!
I have to agree it's crap though. Why would the word 'nun' be more frequently used than 'mum'? I don't have a nun and I don't want one!
BTW, can anyone help me sort out my bi-sexual firmware? 😉
I dunno, I reckon some Nuns must be up for it with all that celibacy and stuff, better a Nun than your Mum! I think it's quite quaint when you want to spell kiss, it spells lips first, ironic really. I know it bugged me recently when I put TIFF (image file) in as a word and it hijacked my THE for ages. Now it's not gay and spells THE the first time.
don't be too harsh on your SMS dictionary coming out the closet to you like that.
it's still your software after all no matter what sexual preferences it may have .
i suggest you go to a few counselling sessions with your device and i hope in time you'll grow to love your SMS dictionary the same as you once did .
and as for your last question about it being user friendly ,nothing will change there as long as you dont leave liza minelli CD's lieing around.It's not it's choice or fault
I have this problem too, anyone have a decent serious solution?
My favourite is "COAL" and the 2 words which follow (perhaps this is why "Shippy" believes the SMS dictionary is gay).
As a work around, when it replaces a word with an uncommon one, you just need to type it out and change it to the correct word about 5 times in a row in the same message and it seems to make it first in the order from then on.

You just knew that some people will type that in... I did!
You're right about the learning feature of T9. I no longer invite members of the opposite sex for a dual.

I usually ask them out for an adds first.
Ha, great! Too much adds will inevitably lead to poor dual performance in the next T9 suggestion (that's beds not bees)! What a thread! 🙄

I told you all it was Gay , Im actualy 23 (nuthing against gays) and I just wanted to atract readers to the thread and yes it worked
But no solution , doesent matter its better than no dictionary at all
Cheers fellas yas are a good laugh
There are a few ways to sort it. Using a file manager go to the c drive, 'Predic' directory, then delete the .dat file. That clears it and all the words you've added and resets it. Alternatively use a hex editor (I use X-Plore file manager which has one built in). Open the dat file in the hex editor, find the word that keeps coming up and delete it, then save the file. That way you still keep the words you want to (like all the swears). ;o)
There is/was another way which worked on my old N80 but doesn't work on my N95. You just write a text and pick the word you want to change and type it using T9 (which brings up the word you want to change), then press * to change it to the correct one (mine kept coming up with 'gt' first, then 'it' and obviously I wanted 'it' to come up first). Just repeat that and eventually the correct word you want will be first on the list. As I said though, I've never got it to work on my N95.
