A recent New York Times On Language column spoke about how the word "FAIL" has crept into the vernacular (or the parlance of our times, or whatever linguists call it). Somebody then wrote a letter claiming that its modern origins come from the old DOS command "Abort, Retry, Fail?", which I remember as being "Abort, Retry, Ignore?".
I was thinking that my memory was doing an Epic Fail, until I discovered "Ignore" was the old-old system. Which is, I guess, a Minor Scale Fail.
