Have you ever spelled words with an upside down calculator for fun?
Yesss!
I think maybe once when I was 10 years old.
Nope, but I want to try now. >D
Naw, that's lame.

Well, have you?

53045 was my favorite to type as it feels like such a wholesome word, but some kids get all worked up over 1134 and 5318008.

It is saddening scientific calculators usually have more detailed numbers, so I'm unable to type words when bored in math class.

Yes, I like typing in words into calculators, it's fun a lot of fun.
Spelling bad words into calculators is even more fun. :3

Yeah, I did in fourth grade, but then I stopped since I couldn't make any more new words. And now, even if I wanted to, I can't since my graphing calculator's numbers are like, yeah...

I used to all the time. Then I ended up getting this really fancy calculator with graphing and letters and stuff...kinda took the fun out of it when I could just write whatever I wanted...

Well, I did it while I was in class of Friday so... yes...

College students really shouldn't do that sort of thing, should they?

And 8 being B always seemed strange to me.

1 is I
2 is Z
3 is E
4 is H
5 is S
6 is nothing(shame)
7 is L
8 is B(I guess)
9 is G(though it was b on one calculator I had. There was no bottom bar.)
0 is O

Good times. Many words you can make. I keep writing Shezi for some reason. Welll I mean it is 12345.

Yeah of course! It was a big thing for a while back in the day XD

I think the classic was 07734. Not sure though. It's been a while.
I also liked to use the symbols on scientific calculators to make all these interesting smilies. I used to animate some of them as well by leaving the cursor thing on the "mouth" so it would flash and make it seem like it was moving.

I liked to muck around in class a lot laugh
