WYISWG /wiziwig/

We create new words all the time. We have to do this in order that may express new ideas. Perhaps the strangest word which has come into the English language recently is 'wysiwyg'. I was so puzzled by this word I kept asking people what it meant, but no one knew. Last week I found it in a dictionary. It is not as peculiar as I had thought. It comes from computers. This is what it means, in case you want to know: “What You See Is What You Get”. This means that what you see on your screen is what you get when you print. Now I discover that everyone knows this word. The other day I was in my favorite restaurant and ordered sausages. They were such small sausages I complained to the waitress. She just smiled at me and whispered, 'Wysiwyg!'
