My mum some time ago coined the word "incomputerit", and claimed to
suffer from the affliction. She - born in S Africa and now suffering
from Alzheimer's - keeps telling me that Nelson Mandela's mother could
not write and so sees no need to be cured of the affliction.

I have seen "incomputerit" in the press since.

Hi Folks,

Since we're all dyed-in-the-wool net users here, something happened today
that I think you all might appreciate.

In fact, it lead to an unusual bout of literary creativity. I believe that
I have created a new word.

My wife's grandmother is fond of forwarding every chain e-mail she receives.
There's no stopping her-- no matter how many frauds are exposed, no matter
how many times little Josey White has been found. She just can't help
herself.

Hence the new word (I think it's new). I've decided that she's a "spam-ma".

Anyone else with a similar experience? Inquiring minds would rather know
about that than Timmy's latest exploits.

Chuck
