There's a button that allows you to edit or improve the "solution".
I was so tempted to strike the whole "solution" out (like this), then comment "There, that's an improvement".

Nice to see Ballmer (the OP) still engaging with the community, isn't it? 
How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

In another moment ... previously, or, in the future ... this voice was, or will be, yours, or mine.
This is the voice that utters the wondrous exclamation: Ἐγὼ φωνὴ boōntos ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ... I am the voice crying out [1] in the wilderness.
Too bad English doesn't have a more onomatopoeic word for "crying out" that compares with the Greek "boontos." Perhaps "wailing" comes close ... or even the slang "hollering" ? Well, no, slang just won't do for hagiography.
[1] variously translated as "shouting," "crying," "calling," "calling out," etc.

I'd have gone with "lamenting".
Or "bitching", maybe?

shriek is the best I could think of - although Roar would be close, without the proverbial Cuban.
I wonder why onomatopoeic doesn't sound like what it is?

It does -- haven't you ever heard an onomatopoeia from up close?

And why is "monosyllabic" such a long word?

Too bad, _Maxxx_, that post has now been closed, and those immortal words lost to posterity.
Or, should I say: "posteriority" ?

It's a sad thing to think that, even today with all of the quintillions of bytes of information freely available to so many millions of us, that something can still be lost, perhaps forever.
Although in some cases it is, perhaps, a blessing!

I just read that Microsoft is shutting down R&D in a number of departments. The article commented about the short-sightedness of not doing R&D.
About 40 years ago, George Rotsky (at that time editor of the Electronic Engineering Times newspaper) published an editorial titled "Teaching the horse not to eat". I wish that I could find the text of that article, because it was a wonderful statement about the perils of cutting R&D.
In the article, he drew a parallel between cutting R&D and the farmer that taught his horse not to eat to cut down on expenses. Predictably the farmer's costs diminished up to the point when the unfortunate horse died. Such is the fate of companies that abandon R&D.
Perhaps Microsoft could learn something from this editorial.
