Archive

The word ‘archive’ is a strange one…

I mean say it out loud…Roll it around in your mouth for a while…Taste it. Get to know the sound that it makes…It sounds strange doesn’t it? Almost like the words ‘our cave’ being said by a man with a funny accent.

Of course we dont want to be discriminative here….We want to be politically correct, do we not? Therefore it is improper to suggest that it is a man with a funny accent. I mean it could just as well be a woman with a funny accent.

So the word ‘Archive’ conjures up images of ‘Our Cave.’ Perhaps it was intended this way, as maybe information was originally stored in caves. Filed away under rocks, so as to not be blown away, or lost, or disturbed.
