While we lived in England I read the New York Times online. I
was addicted to their daily crossword and a digital subscription was the only
way to feed my habit overseas. And, well, it seemed silly to pay for the news
and only do the puzzle. Now that we’re stateside again, Words with Friends
satisfies my craving to fill grids with words. I still get most of my news
online, but lately it’s more likely to come from The Guardian. You can get news
that incenses or depresses you just about anywhere. But if you want nice news,
The Guardian is the place. Last week I read about a British Nana whose
25-year-old grandson caught her typing “please” and “thank-you” when she
Googled something. She thought she was dealing with a person, and was being
polite. The grandson posted about his Nan’s Internet manners, and it was
retweeted more than 11,000 times. See? Nice news.
