in reply to Find SMS text matches (textonyms)

We just take for granted the ways the original phone dialing system was setup, it was something most of us were just "born into" . But isn't bizarre that we even have to deal with 3 letters being on the same button? It's one of those bad design descisions that has altered the course of history.

    The current phone layout is the result of a series of efficiency hacks and is rather interesting.

    I can recommend the Wikipedia articles on telephone numbers and telephone switching as interesting and illuminating.
