«The choice of words is important when things like this happen,»
Author: Geoffrey Nunberg

Author: Geoffrey Nunberg
«Cell phone makes those boundaries between public and private very porous. In the past, if you're having a spat with a significant other in a public place, one of you will argue and say, 'Not here' because it's intrusive. But now, with cell phones, there's no 'Not here' anymore.»
