unwired

[William Salmon]

A headline in USA Today reads PROFESSORS WANT THEIR CLASSROOMS
"UNWIRED".

The problem is that the professor in question is opposed to his
classroom being equipped with wireless Internet access.  So, the
appropriate headline should be instead "unwireless", but this could
mean the professor actually wants his room hardwired for the Internet
instead of having wireless access...
