Apparently the folks at Merriam-Webster disagree with you.

The act of selecting an item on a computer with a mouse (or keyboard) is defined as a "click".

Generally speaking "parkways" are on properties managed by the US Park
Service. (at least in the Mid Atlantic)
A lot of them were built in the 30s or 40s as CCC projects or for
government use but also open to the public. Suitland Parkway is an
example. It is a road built to make Andrews AFB and the government
complex in Suitland, easily accessible from South Capitol Street in
DC. They bought that swath of land when it was cheap, turned it over
to the US Park Service and built a 4 lane road through it. At the time
is was considered a national security thing. Now days it is just a
fast way for Nancy to get from her office to her plane.

Yes, like the Blue Ridge Parkway, very nice.

There is also the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, between, as you might
guess, those two cities. No trucks allowed, barely any shoulders, no
gas stations or any businesses at all, mostly through woods.

A mile from US-1` and two miles from I-95 which are parallel US 1 is
very commericial and I-95 is 6 or 8 lanes. Also parallel to

OTOH, traffic has increase on the parkway 5-fold since it opened


"Plans for a parkway linking Baltimore and Washington date back to
Pierre Charles L'Enfant's original layout for Washington, D.C. in the
18th century but did not fully develop until the 1920s. Major reasons
surrounding the need for a parkway included high accident rates on
adjacent US 1 and defense purposes before World War II. In the
mid-1940s, plans for the design of the parkway were finalized and
construction began in 1947 for the state-maintained portion and in 1950
for the NPS-maintained segment. The entire parkway opened to traffic in
stages between 1950 and 1954. Following the completion of the B–W
Parkway, suburban growth took place in both Washington and Baltimore. In
the 1960s and the 1970s, there were plans to give the segment of the
parkway owned by the NPS to the state and make it a part of I-295 and
possibly I-95; however, they never came through and the entire road is
today designated as MD 295, despite only being signed on the
state-maintained portion. Between the 1980s and the 2000s, the NPS
portion of the road was modernized. MD 295 is in the process of being
widened from four to six lanes, with more widening and a new interchange
along this segment planned for the future. "

In other words, it won't be so pleaant anymore.

Also parallel to Telegraph Road, named after the telegraph line that
Samuel Morse built from Baltimore to DC to illustrate the power of the
telegraph. This you guys will definitely find interesting:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltim...telegraph_line
In March 1843, the US Congress appropriated US$30,000 (equivalent to
$833,250 in 2020) to Samuel Morse to lay a telegraph line between
Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, Maryland, along the right-of-way of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

Morse originally decided to lay the wire underground, ......

The first time people could communicate instantaneously at distances
greater than what smoke signals and signal fires could accomplish.
Although I've read that even 2500 years ago, a relay of signal fires was
used to notify people 100's of miles away of official determination of
the new moon.

Generally speaking, yes. We've got a road called "Huron Parkway" that is
just an ordinary road. It's somewhat scenic, if you like trees. It winds
several miles from one busy 5-lane road to another one (in contrast to
many roads around here that were platted out on a grid). There's no restriction
on who may drive on it.

Metro Parkway near Detroit is one of those roads platted out on a
grid. It changes its name several times; "Big Beaver Road" always gets a
laugh. It could reasonably called 16 Mile Road, to match the system used
by a number of Detroit-area roads.

Tap instead of click.
App instead of program.
Fewer instead of less (even though more has no equivalent).
Slowed up instead of slowed down (slow is less speed, so must be down).
People who write computer programs that say "hello world" and nothing
else - clearly that program doesn't have the intelligence to say hello.
Bothering to distinguish between burned and burnt.
Forward instead of forwards.

To the rest of the world, a Yankee is an American.
To Americans, a Yankee is a northerner.
To a Northerner, a Yankee is someone from New England.
To a New Englander, a Yankee is someone from Maine.
To someone from Maine, a Yankee is someone who eats apple pie for
breakfast.
