The reality is painful to me.
A term from the late 1950’s when transistor radios were becoming the fad was; “I am going to listen to my transistor”. That upset me and still does, so I would tell anyone daring to make such a statement in my presence; “A transistor is a current amplifying device and you 'cannot hear it'. You are listening to a transistor radio”!
Words change, get chopped off and substituted. You know, it is a bit like technology – always changing especially when you think that you are comfortable! :)
It has been 35 years since I took English in College. Perhaps I should go back to school and study English as a Second Language! My daughter teaches that subject. I think that I speak a different language, like "Old American English" or something! :)
