Dear, dear Glennie,

Well, I'll tell (you) when language finally stops changing. It (certainly)
will be a momentous occasion that will necessitate a round of champagne on
(you) for the entire List. "Frankly, it ain't gonna happen. Even if we all
turned into a pile of cybernetics and plugged ourselves in each and every
night, it still wouldn't happen", you say; but I disagree. It's happening
right now as we chat.

Bring on the bubbley and pour the champagne.

love,
Gerry
