[Elecraft] My K3 is Sick!

[Rich]

But the King's English is not what is spoken in America, or in much of 
the world.  The guiding reference "The King's English" was printed in 
1906, some 20 years before the production of "Modern English Usage" in 
the 1920s almost 100 years ago.  "American English"  has evolved some 
since then. International or Business English has also evolved.

"Sick" meaning good has been in use since the 1980s and a roughly 
similar meaning was around in the 1920s.

Wouldn't it be terrible if ham radio was associated with Pop culture.  
Oh my!  You might have to deal with young people!  You know, like those 
in their 60s.
