Gee, Blue Tide (is that a reference to the detergent?), you are awfully critical of a man who helped load evacuees onto helicopters just after the New Orleans catastrophe. True, he only did so only for the few seconds that his camera crew was filming and had to elbow a National Guardsman away from the helicopter for the photo op, but this is such a trivial complaint. Geraldo, nee Jerry Rivers, erstwhile attorney for the Young Lords, may be a worthless jerk, but then nobody is perfect.
On a more important topic, what is the correct replacement verb for filming, since they have not used film for years? Taping? Do they still use videotape? Not if it's all digital. While you are at it, I need a replacement for 'dialing', as in 'dial this telephone number". I still use dial phones, the big heavy bakelite ones with a real bell, rewired to conform to telephone line requirements, but it seems that many people, perhaps even a majority, have converted to 'push button' phones. Push this number?
I think using phones that are not connected to the wall by a wire is sinning against God, a direct affront to our Divine Creator. I assume pretty much everyone with a lick of common sense does, excepting perhaps the small handful of homicidal criminals who use cellphones while driving, and the uncouth barbarians who discuss their personal business while walking down the street.
