Blood Red and Going Down

I find it interesting how there's a grammatical difference between how "mail" and "e-mail" are used. Like, "e-mail" is etymologically just "electronic mail", but it's a count noun while mail is a mass noun. You can say, for example, "I wrote an e-mail" but you can't say "I wrote a mail", likewise, you can say "I got a lot of mail" but you wouldn't say "I got a lot of e-mail", you'd have to say "e-mails". To count mail you have to say "pieces of mail". "There's five pieces of mail in my inbox", but "there's five emails in my inbox"

“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”
