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

This usage may be related to the tendency to use guy as a kind of perky pseudo-pronoun - nowadays you hear people using a phrase like 'those guys ' to refer to everything from ski boots to PowerPoint slides.»

«These technologies are interesting in the same way that a shoe can also be a hammer. There are incidental uses for cell phones that often can be something that changes it altogether.»
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.»
