get out, get in, get in shape, get laid, get up, get down, get http://example.com/file.zip

It really is poor engineering, any non-letter prefix would have been good enough.

Well there aren't many convenient choices on a phone. # is used in twitter, * is often used by the carrier. Might have been better to prefix with just "z".

disabling the use of #get as a hashtag is still better than disabling its use as an english word
