No, you're not. POS Technology is very much a thing! I remember when CMOS came out, somebody defined what POS meant, even before point of sale was a glint in anyone's eye.

As to the restaurant menu issue, "two from column A and one from column B" is just easier :D

Messtechniker:
Missus: Could you please go down to the basement and see if there is any white wine?
Me: Came back with the answer: "Yes".
Missus: I expected you to bring the white wine!

Girls and boys will never understand each other. Go figure.

babysitter:
Hey guys, you know Borat or Ali G or BrĂ¼no?
The actor has a brother.
The actors brother developed a questionaire with a evaluation procedure.
You should consider trying it.

Edit: bold text marks change.
Clarified that its the actors brother, not the brother of the brother of the actor.
This edit itself might be related to the topic.

I think audiotubes will enjoy this story:
A couple of months ago I attended a wedding reception and this MBA lady was introduced to me by the groom. She explained that her work was related to POS (much more ambiguous the way she expressed herself in German). Well, I bit my tongue and let it go. Sure as heck it turned out that this lady was seated right next to me. A couple of hours later we did some pleasant smalltalk at the table, when I couldn't keep myself from saying "I prefer people to define TLA's before using them with newcomers. Say, for example, in linguistics POS stands for part of speech, but often I see it used for piece of shit. However I assume that you meant point of sales?" After that I had to explain the TLA TLA. Not to be unkind, she took my quip quite gracefully.

DavidAlfa:
Why did you put yourself at risk for some vegetables?
"Pizza"is much safer, just avoid the pinneapple, Italians said enough is enough, people is getting stabbed with sharp broken pasta.
