Do the little pastel candy Valentine hearts still have printed on some, "You send me?"

"Send" in that sense means affecting with powerful emotions, as in "The music sends me."

"Send" is an Old English word, from senden. People have been sending for a long time: we needed the word early on in our language.

With "send," we dispatch an email, a letter. I want to find the verb and its feeling behind every sending I do. A letter to a pen pal is for imparting; a card to a friend is for amusing; an email to a colleague is for informing.

If you're ever in Washington, D.C., visit the National Postal Museum. Sending has, and always will, change the course of the world, no matter the channel.
