...describe our day-to-day lives in terms that would have been rather foreign to our forebears of 10 or 20 years ago. We google potential employers, and facebook potential dates. Some people eBay old textbooks, and we all spend an inordinate amount of time e-mailing and IM-ing friends, professors, and parents. The rate at which technologically-charged action verbs enter our vocabulary these days is staggering.What’s perhaps most peculiar about these verbs, however, is that the majority of them seem to come from nouns.

Otherwise, the tone of the election will continue to resonate for a long time...
There are other, more subtle, ways to point out who your best friends are, like creating an uber-exclusive facebook group entitled “The Rat: Harvard’s Most Exclusive Final Club.” Alternatively, you can use the newest facebook feature by “tagging” so many pictures of someone that it’s clear that they are more than just the “friend of a friend’s friend’s girlfriend’s one-time UA.” (Jerk.) Alternatively, you can post...
