I'm tired of fighting with Word!

Also, I would like to see this included in the T9 text input dictionary.

Why not just add it to Word's dictionary manually?

And if you need it on T9, you are either txting too much or way to obsessed with Star Trek. Or both.

I'm only half-serious.

I think the word is used frequently enough that it should be included by default. I mean, hey...if MacGyver can be a valid word, why can't Klingon?
