n. There are a couple of metaphors in English of the form pen dipped in X
|
|
|
|
|
(perhaps the most common values of X are acid , bile , and vitriol ). These
|
|
|
|
|
map over neatly to this hackish usage (the cursor being what moves, leaving
|
|
|
|
|
letters behind, when one is composing on-line).
