I didn’t know that. So, really it’s old technology, not really something new.

Yes, unlike clowny (which I admit to making up during a scrabble game), funnily is a real word and here is the Oxford Dictionary online extract:

funnily
Pronunciation:/ˈfʌnəli/
adverb

*
in a strange or amusing way: you do talk funnily
*
[sentence adverb] (funnily enough) used to admit that a situation or fact is surprising or curious: funnily enough , I was starting to like the idea

I switched. And is “funnily’ a word? Huh.
:-)
Love to you
Gail
peace…..
