Loosing touch with literacy

Spam of the week: someone is trying to sell me "qualitative watches". It would be fun to have a timepiece that offered no numbers, just comments like "it's getting on towards lunchtime", but I suspect they wouldn't actually live up to the description.

Awesome. I suspect a strong market for qualitative watches.

Cute!

But wouldn't a qualitative watch tell you, not that it's getting on towards lunchtime, but that it feels like it's getting on towards lunchtime? :-)

For amusement: a watch where the hands are Dali's moustache.

I don't know, I've never owned a qualitative watch. I did have one that certainly wasn't quantitative, but it wasn't qualitative either :-(
