There was an article in the Tribune today about a commonly discussed subject on Wordcraft (no...not epicaricacy), and that is Wikipedia. Link The author breaks the world into Wiki and anti-Wiki forces. I particularly thought Wordcrafters would appreciate this example:
quote:
One day, in the midst doing verbal battle with yet another anti-Wikipedia-ite, it dawned on me that the whole world breaks down into Wiki and anti-Wiki forces. There are those people throughout history who have embraced this type of decentralized, power-to-the-people phenomenon and those who have been scared witless by it.
The American Revolution? British versus colonists? Nope. Wiki versus anti-Wiki forces. The British wanted to regain centralized control over the colonies; the rebels wanted to retain control over their destinies and continue their experiment in self-governance.
And on he goes, through much of history and including some of the current world situations.
