Puggles, Cell Phones and Dictionaries

British cellular service provider has added the term "puggle" to the dictionary used for those who like to text message with their cell phones. Their predictive text feature has recently been updated with some of the year's new buzzwords and "puggle" made the cut.

According to their press release:

"Did you know that a Puggle is a new breed of dog crossed between a Pug and a Beagle? Or that Vlogs (video blogs) are the latest rage? Language is constantly evolving, with new words becoming part of our culture every day. To help Britons better communicate, these and other words have been added to a special T9 predictive text input dictionary for users to tap into when texting on their mobiles. "

Props to T-9 for recognizing the puggle! Here's the source.
