I was thinking of perhaps a linguistic discussion of how older words need to be "re-branded" as time marches on? For example, we now have to describe what used to be called "watches" as "pocket watches" as "wristwatches" are now simply called "watches". And as "digital watchers" have become more commonplace, we must call the other kind "analog watches". The same thing happened to restaurant. --Dante Alighieri 18:17, 24 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Thank you, I couldn't for the life of me remember that word. ;) --Dante Alighieri 19:31, 24 Sep 2003 (UTC)
