Yeah, I really miss spelling things out like this. Those were the days.

Missing the pauses needed to start the next letter sure stumped my translation progress.

I stuck it into chad:

Looks like classic phone keypad (T9-style) text 😊

Decoded message:

“yeah i really miss spelling things of like this. those were the days.”

(There are a couple small typos in the sequence—“ov lile” → “of like”)

Chad did a bad job. Fuck AI.

I loved this because I was able to text without looking. When T9 was an option I would always turn off. Those indeed were the days

My phone had a keyboard because I was just so darn cool.

Released two years later, expensive as hell, still had a touchscreen. The blackberry was always an option.
