claud commented on the word allatonceness
Ours is a brand-new world of allatonceness. “Time” has ceased, “space” has vanished. We now live in a global village…a simultaneous happening. We are back in acoustic space. We have begun again to structure the primordial feeling, the tribal emotions from which a few centuries of literacy divorced us.
--Marshall McLuhan, 1967, The Medium is the Massage

I can't stop myself from reading this as alla-tonce-ness. Is Tonce a cat? (CF SNL Toonces) Does alla = allah? or does alla = "other" (greek)? Or alla = "but" (Greek). Othercatness or Buttcatness?
