My new cell phone, which already creeps me out by being aware of when I change time zones, bothered me just a little bit more yesterday. I opened the phone up and a message popped up on the screen:
Update clock?
In defense of the phone, it was in fact 2:00 pm at the time, so one could say that the phone was not so much in error as it was differing from me on semantics.
But still.

Why is there no female equivalent for the word "manfully?"
I mean, you never hear someone say, "She tried womanfully to ..." whatever.
Does this mean that men try to do things in other ways, and that it is therefore necessary to characterize the individual attempts?
Well, adverbs. Probably not worth making that big a deal over this.
