The word "update" was invented in 1948



Update. That's a weird word when you look at it. Up. Date. It's like a day that's up in the air. Even weirder, according to etymonline.com the word "update" has only been around since 1948. Oooooh, I'm so curious what the first usage of "update" is... Cannot... Find.

It's rather ironic. The record for "update" has not been updated! OH THE IRONY!

Ha! Check out that logo. Does that lion have a human face? I'm totally freaked out right now.

Kind of off topic, but have you played Etymologic?
