tv vs tu
Funny, the T9 for my mobile, in Italian, gives first "tv" (short and common for television) and then "tu" (you).

Others would find the issue controversial and blasphemous though.

Well for a sort of kiddie pride about being able to do everything that M$ Word can do. Including popular "culture" histerias! :-)
But seriously, on a second thought I'm beginning to suspect -reading your first reply- that you may have been thinking of me as "seeing a pattern in static", as in "conspiracy" or some such, perhaps due to my use of the adjective "hidden". If that is the case, then that is not the case: yes I agree that we, and specifically I, see those patterns. But I d

Ah, OK. Yes, I had indeed gotten that impression from your post; however after your comment I figured you were not actually falling into that trap.
