...turning an adjective (obsolete) into a verb (obsoleted).

One interesting thing about English is it allows for side-trips to variations in meaning aka "informal" terms/words to be added to the common lexicon.

The term reminds me of the magnificent Twilight Zone (TOS) episode with actor Burgess Meredith as, "The Obsolete Man".

Sublime.

I have nothing against cash (and prefer it to credit cards), but there's a big push to force digital currency,. --- Ihavenoname ( 09/02/2023, 01:27:34 ) ( 8 bytes )
