Our changing language:

          Because of technology, our languages (world wide) are rapidly being revised. 30 years ago, you wouldn’t find things like Upload or Download in anyone’s dictionary, but today they are standard speak, although, I don’t know the difference between them. I do remember Offload from way back when – that’s how you get cargo from an airplane to the ground. Even those fluent in tech-eze are having trouble keeping up. They are inventing and creating things so fast that they can barely get it named before the ink on the patent application is dry. The word that has kept me off balance for several years, (that’s about how long it has been in use) is Viral. I’ve missed a lot of good U-Tube videos because they were described as “Viral” and I thought that meant they were infected. I was afraid my computer monitor would turn green, slime would oooze from the keyboard, and the URL (whatever that is) would grow teeth and eat my desk.
