Cellph-Own


       Using the microphone of my smart phone, I said "Cell Phone," and it came out "Self Own" as text.

       And why not?  The sounds themselves are exactly the same.  And running words together as we do when we speak, the smart phone heard it "right."

       Of course, such incidents, which happen with everybody once in awhile, can make you laugh...or even make you think a little.  Yes, the cell phone is markedly for one's self, one's own self, it's self owned, the cell phone.  The smart phone's "mistake" is making a good point.

       But this can become as egotistical as the selfie one can easily take with one's "self owned" cell phone.  The self-ie too is cellf-centered.

       It's all so cell-fish!
