That's a little bizarre...that you constantly take notice of it, and it bothers you.

Are they? How so?
I think I speak for more than just myself here when I say that you don't like apple being criticized and are trying to use my spelling error as their defence.
When you criticize someone, if you want to be taken seriosuly, don't find a spelling mistake in their post and use that as the sole basis of your argument, its just embarrassing.

Are you saying Jedi mind tricks don't work in you, Jabba?
I know, how dare a corporation try to sell their products, damn free market capitalism.
I couldn't care less if you criticize Apple. I do it myself. And if your criticism is valid, I'm right there with you. Unfortunately for you in this case, it's not, as evidenced by the majority of replies you've received.
But I do take exception to the butchering of the English language by people who are trying to make a point about its misuse. Your post doesn't have just one spelling mistake BTW. It has no less than a half dozen grammatical and punctuation errors.
Maybe stick to a topic you know.
I'm more bothered by how Apple's Marketing department is trying it's damnedest to elevate Steve Jobs to god-like status and how the fanboys are more than happy falling all over themselves to oblige. It's leaving a bad taste in my mouth for the whole Apple' experience'. He's not Martin Luther King for god's sake.
"Its just a marketing thing"
I know, hence the thread title.
It shows how many people pick up on the subtle things apple do in their marketing.
lol, point missed, they can do it, I'm taking the piss out of the people who blindly fall for apples marketing.[

Someones spelling and grammar does not detract from their point, even if thats the only argulemt you can find against them. Even if someone with the most awful spelling points out a fault with someones use of language, if its a valid point, its a valid point.
The OP is a case study of what I hate most about internet forums. Yeesh, this guy is basically saying "this is my opinion, and if you disagree, its because you've been suckered, which only validates my opinion MORE". What a tool.

Are you seriosuly trying to suggest they don't do what I've stated in the origanal post...

BTW thats not a SPELLING ERROR... That is a GRAMMATICAL ERROR... When you don't even know the difference between the two I think you should stop criticising any one else's use of language...
Is that why they say "If you don't have an iPhone, you don't have an iPhone" then?

One of those things that annoys me (but maybe shouldn't), people who get so taken in by apples marketing they refer to products like they are a human, rather than calling it "the iphone" they just say "iphone", as in.
"with iphone you can..."
it makes no sense, its with THE iphone.
The iphone isnt human.
They do this will all there products, just look on their site, listen to the steve jobbs key notes, they always refer to them this was, dont get sucked in by it.
I know this will get down voted to death because a lot of you on here do it, and it will annoy you being told to stop and having it pointed out to you that you have been taken in by marketing,
because (an/the) ipad brings the usability...
(an) imac will enhance your workflow...
etc. etc.
Yeah, the the iphone is a device in its own right, its a particual product, it must be refered to as such...
Simple solution: don't buy Apple products.
Problem Solved. Next.
