Subject: RE: BS: Phrases that don't travel
I saw a "Pluggers" cartoon recently where a grandma was teaching her grandson how to use her phone: "OK, now move your finger around the circle until it hits the little metal thing."

Meanwhile the kid was asking, "So how do you text with this?"

Someday people will be asking, "How did 'dial' come to be the word for punching numbers into a phone?"
