wondering why on Earth you should care

[jochen stremmel]

Googling anything on a cell phone would be annoying for me. (In fact,
owing a cell phone would be annoying for me.) Why not wait until
you're sitting in front of a real machine?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexithymia.

And "sillage", for example, is simply a word in a dictionary, any
dictionary, as far as I see, if you don't know it in the first place.

"Poorly structured"? My ass.
