Indeed - and now that we have this really cool Internet thingy (it's odd to
think that young people have no memory of what the world was like before a
large fraction of its information was instantly at one's fingertips - and in
80 years or so, _nobody_ will remember that age personally), one can very
easily look up either a recondite word, or an obscure colloquialism, in
moments...
