Inflation turns money into a foreign language.

Prices for online goods continued to surge in March at a record pace, data released on Tuesday from Adobe Inc showed, adding a potentially troubling dimension to the Federal Reserve’s battle to slow the overall pace of price increases.
Adobe’s digital price index increased by 3.6% from a year earlier, the same as in February, with costs for apparel – long a category with heavy online discounting – up 16.3% from a year before and online grocery prices up 9%.
Adobe began publishing a monthly digital price index last year, tracking tens of millions of online goods in 18 categories aligned similarly to the government’s Consumer Price Index.
