       #newsUcanUse#OED #etymology RT @redteamwrangler v @clive Someone posted a joke about cursors but then I realized I didn't actually know why we call them cursors.We get it from computer nerds who used slide rules. Cursor is Latin for "runner".The use of the word cursor for instruments that had sliding parts dates back to the 1590s.https://www.etymonline.com/word/cursor
