puter

Well, everybody nowadays seems to be in an unbelievable hurry.
Likewise everybody seems to be obsessed with millions of "time saving" little tricks. Or is it fashion???

Today I came across this expression in a post on a mailing list:
"The puter I'm trying to run it on is ..."

Maybe someone can enlighten me.
What exactly is "gained" by omitting the three characters "com".
It takes maybe 1.4 seconds to type them. If you "save" 1.4 seconds, what are you using them for later???
Or is there somewhere some other hidden "added meaning"???

I guess, this is just one of the million things I will never understand.
After all, I am about 300 years behind my time ...

In a hurry?

Yes, many people and companies seem to be in "a" hurry - maybe even "many hurries" ...
But they do have a very common problem.

If you are in a hurry and want/have to get a certain piece of surface mail delivered in "a hurry" -> that means having it delivered as express mail.
EVERYBODY (!!!) accepts it as a "fact of life", that you have to pay more for an express delivery than for an ordinary letter.

HOWEVER, with translation you have millions of companies and or customers that/who call/(nowadays mail) you and want to have a "rush job" done in
double time ... for a discount rate.

Somehow I cannot picture an employee at a post office responding to such a request with: "Certainly. We will deliver this as express mail for half the usual price. Just to make our customers happy!"

Probably I just "don't get the bigger picture" .....
