Do as I say
Posted in Comment, Pretensions on 03/12/2007 08:51 am by OrthoclaseAn earlier post mentioned the outmoded term “hung up [the phone],” and I was reminded that there are several things we say that we no longer do, such as:
- Hang up [a phone].
- Dial [a phone].
- Rewind [a tape].
- Crank [an engine].
What else?
