It only takes one click

Next time someone tells me that you can download something with just one click, I'm going to ask them to define what the word "one" means to them.

To me, it means one, as in only one, the one and only, less than two, greater than zero, etc.

What I have learned, though, is that when "one click" is prefaced by "it only takes," there is trouble ahead. That one click is actually just the first one in a long series of one clicks. One click after another. One by one. One more time.

In addition to learning that one click is one of many clicks, I have learned that my one clicks put me in a continuous loop. Depending on how tired I am and how many times I have made the loop, I will do one of three things:
a. Keep trying until I find a way out.
b. Close the web site and try later.
c. Close the web site and never try it again.

But, since one can mean whatever you want it to mean, instead of doing just one of those things, I sometimes choose to do them all!
