As long as we're talking about "What People Wear", let's talk about the
double-speak that some people like to put on. Let's look up "mantra" and
see what people say. Who wants to go first?

commenting on Web forums.

Freakier yet is to look up something on Google on Android that I might
have just been looking up on the PC and they have those same search
terms cached.

Oh, man, I've had a bunch of those, All kinds of stuff I'd have been
in the dark about and helpless to deal with on my own if it weren't
for the Web. Not to mention how it helps with aging memory!
And the search algorithms keep getting better and better; I'm
constantly feeling as though they're reading my mind when I start
typing in a word or two and instantly get what I'm looking for even
though there are multiple possible topic headings containing those
same words. I used to sweat creating perfect Boolean search
strings, but it almost doesn't matter any more. Just type in a few
words--even just /related/ words--in any old order, never mind quotes
to enclose a phrase or pluses to separate words or phrases, and
you're still more than likely to come up with relevant hits.
