WEith apologies to [Mickey] I mean, Andy Rooney.

Isn't it curious?

Most people still say "a ship is 'sailing' across the ocean" when in fact most ships today use diesel-engines,
gas-turbines, or steam engines.
In fact, steam-engines on ships have been used for nearly 200 years yet people still say they 'sail'.

And telephones.
Most people will still say, "dial this number", or "ring him up", when most cord-phones, and all cellphones are
"touch-tone" nowadays, and reach another party by buzzing, beeping, or playing a short musical interlude...Touchtone
telephones have been widely used for thiry years.

And clocks or watches.
Most people still say [for example]
"It's quarter after three", when
many clocks and watches today are DIGITAL DISPLAY.
"Quarter to, or quarter after": both phrases emerged from centuries of use of mechanically analog clocks and watches.

Technology is advancing faster
than common grammatical usage.
Grammer inertia?
