And has whomever is complaining not noticed that 'feels' and similar are also part of a VISUAL language?

You know, I could write a whole separate post about how things are becoming increasingly visual! It's a development that makes me sad sometimes (because words are my tool of choice) but there is no denying that there's a whole visual vocabulary developing that serves a valuable purpose.

Now I am imagining a bunch of Victorian zombies sitting around sipping ghoul tea and complaining about our simply shocking use of language... :)
