you can't recognize the word anymore. To bad because it's original meaning was much more descriptive. Now it's just digital pix? Jebus. What a way to cheapen an important concept. I don't mind an evolving language as long as it's adding to, not subtracting from. The evolution of language is its opposite most of the time, it's devolving and is part of the dumbing down process.

memes? Bet most don't have a clue what it really means. It's pretty likely studentpulse does not.
