Re: Funny thing, English grammar

This is interesting, and there's a book in it somewhere, which someone has probably already written.

My kids know what I mean when I say they sound like a broken record, but until I explained it, they had no idea what it referred to.

The web has "pages," not screens.

We "drive" cars, using a term appropriate for a horse team.

I still use an analog watch--an ancient Seiko that could probably stop a bullet. I actually get a much better idea of the time and how much is remaining by looking at a dial instead of digital. Probably a right-brain vs. left-brain thing. I can never remember which is visual and which is verbal...which is probably another right-brain vs. left-brain thing.
