No Post Tonight: Technology Stinks

I took a picture with my cell phone. I was planning to use a photo on it for today’s blog. I tried to send the picture to my computer.

But no, it was impossible. I tried different ways over a fairly large stretch of time to transmit it to my computer’s email account. The cell phone prevented me each and everytime. You might think a $400 cell phone can do basic things like this and not repeatedly butt-call people.

The cell phone designers continually boast of their super duper apps, I just want it to do a few things correctly. But all I get is more death by enhancement.

Well, I guess I typed up a post after all. If you’ll excuse, I need to bang my head against a wall.

Together We Will Upgrade The English Language

If something has a bad odor, it stinks. What do you call it if it has a nice odor? There is no verb for this. We need a verb. Other languages probably have a word for it. We cannot allow a “verb gap” to occur.

My suggestion: To vanil, from the noun vanilla which has a wonderful fragrance.

Your suggestions please. The state of the English language and civilization at large depends on your participation.
