Interesting how the word "cool" has never gone out of style, despite many attempts to eradicate it from the hip vocabulary. I remember kids in the eighties telling me "don't say 'cool', say 'rad.'" Do people still say "rad?" Seems to me that saying "rad" now brands one as an eighties relic. Definitely not kewl. I like the alternate spelling thing though. It's definitely subversive.
