@snare Yeah sorry ‘bout that. I should switch to “electro” again.
@snare I’ve decided that it’s best to be pre-emptive, and add EVEN MOAR CYBERZ to otherwise cromulent words.
@snare The depressing thing is, you end up having to throw in a couple so stories turn up in search results. Then (some) editors add more.
Do people in all the medias not understand how stupid they sound when they put “cyber” in all the things? Like bleating sheep!
