Descrição da imagem da ligação abaixo: trata-se de um quadrinho em formato de mangá com personagens aparentemente femininos, interagindo por telefone móvel em situação que fica cômica pela ambiguidade de "free". Segue uma tentativa de adaptação do diálogo. A primeira pessoa pergunta: "Você está free amanhã?" e a outra responde: "não, eu custo caro pra caramba todo dia".
É uma pena que o uso indiscriminado do anglicismo "free" misturado ao português, na TI, tenha acabado por importar a ambiguidade até para o termo "livre" que, a princípio, não seria ambíguo. Ao tratarmos especialmente da computação, poderíamos distinguir melhor liberdade de custo.
