its the usage of the word "yes" over a time period

Who the hell records this kind of thing?  And how?


--------------------
In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.

This would explain why girls in my generation seem to be far more sluttier than before.

People were saying "NO" more in the "presumed" 50s/60s/70s

I never said it was important... This is the pub no? Anyways, its just weird to think about if it is accurate. Look at the time when slavery was still legal.

Sure as records increase and words spread. ...it's use becomes more prevalent.  What's the problem?

Quote:

After being introduced to "the millionaire Beatle," the woman handed him a little
card that said simply, "Breathe." John, although puzzled, responded politely with a quick
pant. Next, his eyes settled on a ladder leading up to a canvas suspended from the ceiling,
with a spyglass hanging from it on the end of a chain. Climbing to the top of the ladder,
he looked through the spyglass to read a word printed in tiny letters.

"You're on this ladder -- you feel like a fool, you could fall any minute -- and you look
through it and it just says 'YES,' " he told David Sheff in 1980. "Well, all the so-called
avant-garde art at the time, and everything that was supposedly interesting, was all
negative; this smash-the-piano-with-a-hammer, break-the-sculpture, boring,
negative crap. It was all anti-, anti-, anti-. Anti-art, a
nti-establishment. And just that 'YES' made me stay in
a gallery full of apples and nails, instead of just
walking out saying,

'I'm not gonna buy any of this crap.'"

The humor in the work, while downright strange to many people,
was of a kind that appealed to John's sense of the absurd,
and his interest was now taken. Nearby was an object
called "Hammer and Nail," consisting of a board
with a chain and a hammer hanging on the end,
and a bunch of nails positioned underneath.
Could he hammer one of the nails in? "No,"
was the initial reply. Tut, tut!

The gallery owner pointed out to the artist that this
was no way to treat a Beatle. Besides, with all his
, John might buy the piece!
