It Took T9 …

… to make books cool again. When you use predictive text to type out a message on your cellphone, the numbers that spell out “cool” also spell out “book,” but “book” is the default. You could scroll down to select “cool,” if that’s what you meant, but why bother? British teens have apparently taken to saying “book” for “cool” instead, even when speaking, at least according to this post. Pretty sad or, um, rad.
