[QUOTE]Originally posted by sojourner: [QB] I don't think there is a quiet car, but I noticed that on the Starlight and Cascades (and too few other trains), the announcements in coach included one to use cellphones respectfully, avoid using them in the dining car, and go downstairs if you wanted to use them in coach. With regard to disresepcted--the slang term usually used is less often the full word but rather just to "dis." Turning nouns into verbs and vice versa has been going on since Shakespeare's day; in fact, the Bard himself is credited with doing it to introduce many new coinages. Nevertheless, I'm not sure I like the sound of it either. One of my bete noires (to use Henry Frenchy talk) is the use of impact as a verb. It's been going on very several decades, but it always grates on my nerves when I hear it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
