Typing words on a calculator screen

Post by Blast!10 » Mon Oct 06, 2008 1:39 pm

Have you ever wanted to type English words on a normal calculator screen?

Each digit (0-9) can represent certain letters when you turn the calculator upside down. Here is the complete list:

0 = O
1 = I
2 = Z
3 = E
4 = h
5 = S
6 = g
7 = L
8 = B
9 = G

Note that you have only this small number of letters to use. Still, with these letters you can make a lot more words than you might think. I also made a complete list of all the combinations I know, about 61% of them I found myself (i.e. without the help of my friends). Note that this list does NOT include any plurals.

0.7734 = HELLO
51 = IS
505 = SOS
707 = LOL
805 = SOB
808 = BOB
907 = LOG
908 = BOG
937 = LEG
3045 = SHOE
3504 = HOSE
3507 = LOSE
3704 = HOLE
3705 = SOLE
5507 = LOSS
5508 = BOSS
5537 = LESS
9078 = BLOG
35007 = LOOSE
35009 = GOOSE
378809 = GOBBLE

My graphing calculator lets me type actual letters in with an Alpha key. :P

But I guess we're talking about basic calculators, so...

14 = Hi.

What do you think? ._.

Do you think that it's logical to do that?

Really. You're being silly now. Think about stuff yourself sometimes, please.
