Talk:Snail mail
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Any idea who coined the term ? Jay 14:46, 15 Feb 2004 (UTC)
This is a dictionary definition, and one of geek slang at that. Move to Wiktionary. -- Tarquin 14:37, 6 May 2004 (UTC)

"Snail Mail" does not bring up the USPS as first Google result any more.
My diaries from the 1960s and 1970s show that I used the term "snail mail" in reference to land vs. air delivery of first class mail. In a letter to a friend I said she should write to me either by regular mail or air mail, but "even if you use snail mail, write to me," I wrote in a letter. That letter may not still be extant, but my diaries are, where I recorded letters before I sent them. 69.177.165.251 12:48, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
