Yes they will. I'd never heard the term T9 before this thread. If I saw it on its own I'd think Arnold was attempting to make another Terminator movie.
YMMV. I rocked a flip phone (ZTE Cymbal) for 5 years and only just recently learnt it was called T9, in modern days I don't think it's such a common term.
I had not heard of T9 before starting the project and getting interested, I'm too young to have experienced owning a pre-touch screen phone. I don't know if the average HN reader knows what T9 is, so I went with a term that I was fairly certain most people would be familiar with. Is that so people engage with my work? I certainly found the project fascinating, I made the library to share that fascination. If I can get more people to implement and use T9 and alike systems I think my work has has been a success.
