Maybe this is a Canadian/British thing. When someone tells me they're building a new house, I would never assume that they are the ones swinging a hammer.

Hmm... Yes, I'd agree with you on that.

But in an article I think "designed" is better because it's more accurate, and I think the nature of an article should be more formal and accurate than anything else.

Anyway, at first I was really just half-kidding about it. But then when this discussion started, I couldn't resist debating haha. :)

Why are people caught up over the phrase "house that Woz built?" When someone tells you they are building a new house do you say "Wow, I didn't know that you could build houses too!" Everyone understands that the phase "we built this house" means "we didn't buy an existing house or a house in a subdivision, we worked with an architect and a custom home builder to get our house built." But people don't say that whole phrase because they expect reasonably educated people to understand that "we built this house" doesn't mean we actually made it. That's why people who did make their own house say "I built this house with my own hands." If the former meant that, then you wouldn't need to clarify by adding the "with my own hands" bit.

I know you were probably just being humorous, but this wasn't the only post that seemed to have issues with that phrase.

The article should have said this is the house Woz had custom built. Not the house Woz built.

You would rather not have a hot wife?

If by "hot" you mean one that marries me for my money and then divorces me and takes half of it, then no, I would rather not have a "hot" wife.

The Woz got a raw deal on that marriage from what I've read.
