"Like (in the newly anachronistic sense of the word)"


From one Caelevin commenting on Language Log  (http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/)  to a post about a new  "Community Page"  for Language Log which has been automatically generated by Facebook:

I have not previously liked Language Log on Facebook,  I do not have it liked now,  I do not intend to like it in the future.

I like  (in the newly anachronistic sense of the word)  unportaled access to the upenn.edu site.  In this my like is implicit,  as well as antisocial.

Life was so much simpler when I got out of bed this morning,  but being possessed of a porch,  a cane and the Will to Scold,  I am intent on keeping the Interwebz off my lawn,  at least for one more day.
