pardon moi, mais ... ;-)
well, just butting in with a 'bit of humour' - this definition
strikes my punny-bone ;-)
To confuse the foreigners more re. the craziness of the English
language ;-)
the computer language has re-defined any number of words;
CDs went from banking to something slid into the computer
...
memory referred to the human brain then the computer's
storage bank ...
application went from a form to something working within the
computer's storage bank ....
cursor was a blasphemer then a point moving amidst the
computer's screen ...
keyboard went from the pianos to the typewriters to the
computer - thus keys are on the keyboard,
yet keys went from opening locks to buttons clicked on
...
a web was made by a spider then became a site - ah, maybe
that's how hackers decided to draw their victim into their web ...
virus went from a bacterial infection to - ah, hackers do
infect their victim ...
au revoir, mon ami,
don't worry about the craziness of the English language, you're
doing great.
