Recently I had to write down an account of a
situation that happened in our office. I can't go into details about it,
but I was questioned by two people (younger than me) who read my account concerning my use of the
word "fetch".
I said: So-and-so went to fetch so-and-so.
After the second person questioned me on my use
of the word “fetch”, I felt I needed to explain that I didn't mean it
derogatorily, and added that I am old and I use words like that.
I asked my husband and my daughter if they
thought that it was strange to use that word and they both said no. Of course
they could just be trying to get me to stop worrying about it.
Then I saw this as I was trying to pin something
on Pinterest –
And tonight I noticed that I-Phone, of which I have one, under Settings says “Fetch
New Data”. (Not a picture of my phone)
Guess I’m not as antiquated as I thought.
