Reimagining Autogenerating Responses

Lately I've noticed little response prompts at the bottom of emails to me. The ones that make it even easier to be impersonal in communications. I'm talking about being able to just click on a response, for example, "That's great!" or "I agree" or some such thing. One doesn't even have to think because the software does it for one. I'm thinking I'd like to have additional options so I can be impersonal when I'm disagreeing. Perhaps something like "Eat Dirt!" or "You're Stupid!" or maybe even, "Unfriend Me, Please." Being negative impersonally might be an efficiency worth pursuing.

Label Fable

I regularly acquire advice from a variety of sources, verbal and written, attempting to be kind and concerned, but oblivious to their condescension. One phrase pops up consistently. It is this, "people of a certain age." What they mean is "old folks." It's the imprecision of language that annoys me. Words mean things, or should, and flabby phrases just mentioned don't mean much at all. All of us are "people of a certain age," and I'd just as soon be called "John," if you don't mind. That is precise.
