Oh Brave New World that has such words in it!

The other day we were at a restaurant for lunch when Ben, age 13, proudly declared out of nowhere that he now “knows what the F-word means”.  (That is to say, he knows what the word f*ck means, not than that he knows “the f-word means f*ck”.  He already knew that.)

Great.  Glad he’s expanding his intellectual horizons.

So how did you find that out? I asked him, expecting the source of this great revelation would be a friend or someone at school.

“The Dictionary.com app on my Ipod,” he tells us.

Thanks a lot Apple and the Dictionary!  Stupid age of information.  Corrupting America’s youth since the 1990’s.
