It’s a search of Google books, but the question still stands, what the Fuck happened in 1870
I CAN ANSWER THIS!!
In the Cornish dialect of English, Pokemon meant ‘clumsy’ (pure coincidence).
In the mid 1800s there was a surge of writing about the Cornish language and dialect in an attempt to preserve them with glossaries and dictionaries being written. I wrote about it HERE.
I just love that this post happened to find the ONE HUMAN ON THE INTERNET who had the answer to this question
During the 1st live iPhone demo, Steve
Jobs was secretly switching phones
because they couldn’t even play a song
without crashing. Their displays were
rigged to show 5 bars of signal strength
and he had to use a portable cell tower
just so they would seem reliable enough
to make calls. One little mistake could’ve
ruined the entire presentation, but Jobs
got through it flawlessly, and the iPhone
was a hit before it ever actually worked.
