conspicuous missing words from mobile phone T9 vocabulary
My Sony Ericsson K750i doesn't know the word "giraffe". Neither does my friend's Nokia. I want to know why this is, and also, what other conspicuous missing words people have found from their predictive text handsets.
I also found "moping" to be missing.

you can mope ( vb and noun), moper (n) or mopy (adj)
you can have "the mopes" (low spirits) but there is no moping!
I mostly feel that if words are extensions/conjugations of existing words that follow regular patterns, they should be part of English automatically.
Unless they are particularly confusing or get mixed up with existing words.
For example, I don't like the word "actioned", but I think it's fair game.
But why isn't giraffe in the dictionary?
it's not in mine either.. meb it's in the nokias in africa tho..?

What about knackered?
I need to use that all the time.
Tired just doesn't cut the mustard sometimes.
Sometimes you need to really evoke the imagery of the old nag being sent to the knackers yard to be made into glue. You know?
PANDA is also not included! WTF!
