Soon someone will invent voice entry on the phone instead of typing.

Yep, and they have their own set of problems ... converting the phrase ... "I'm at waterhole" into "I'm at work HO" Yeah, a friend of mine with a Texan accent sent that message when a friend asked where he was. Good thing it wasn't his wife asking the question.

I don't mind. It's about silliness in the first place.

 

Neither do I.... Rarely does any thread remain on topic ... It's the code of the web forum.

And by forum, i mean every forum I have read since the mid 1990s.

 

Alright... let's go back to funny old terms in disuse: "free love"

I never experienced free love. At a minimum, it always cost me at least dinner.

Wohaa.... we're entering a subject-warp zone resulting in thread-drift again.... attempting to stabilize direction....
