Evidently not to the younger generations, if you've ever gotten a text from a fifteen year old.

When you say text you mean a fax right?

My favorite example: "I'm going to go help my Uncle, Jack, off his horse."

I don't know about you, but bad grammar is just the tip of the iceberg. I'd say a good 30% of the things I read on the Internet simply make no sense at all - no structure and no discernible thesis. It's just a confused jumble of words, like the aftermath of a liter of vodka and a bowl of alphabet soup.

if all we had for the last 30 years were texts, and someone came along with voice, people would be wetting themselves with excitement.
ain't that not truthfulness

I'm waiting for somebody to reintroduce dial telephones with cords.

[MrNate]

They have an iphone app now that lets you dial a simulated rotary. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Also, why aren't shoe phones all the rage by now?

Funny that this topic was started by a guy who said this (my emphasis):

I've always thought that it did add a slight honey taste to the beer, but I really wonder how much of that is psychological.  I've done enough study of how preconceptions effect perception to be skeptical of my own tastings when it isn't done blind.  And I haven't done that with honey malt.

Maybe they need to change that pie chart to include audio post production types . . .

"Effect" is a perfectly fine verb, but only in the less commonly employed sense of instigation, as in to effect a certain change.  Affect is the verb most folk are seeking usually!

My in-laws still have a rotary dial phone on their kitchen wall.  I told them to check their bill and make sure ATT isn't still charging them a $2/ mo rental fee.
