Does the 'misspelling' of iPhone bother anyone?

[TheAppleGeek]

Whether it be my grammatical-sense or Apple's spelling of the iPhone, something about how some people spell 'iPhone' really bothers me. On Twitter, I constantly see 'Iphone' and 'IPhone'.

Does anybody else feel the same?

 

[dom91932]

Yes!

 

[doubleatheman]

It does bug me also,

But I do get lazy and write "iphone" sometimes

Mostly I type it out as "iPhone"

YES

Not really, people have been doing the same with "iPod" since the beginning. (My personal peeve is "iTouch." Just can't get over it. )

 

[andalusia]

Yes, this does sometimes bother me. For a split-second. Then I'm over it.

 

[dom91932]

It bugs me when people say iTouch. I know what they are talking about but it's not it's real name but i dont yell at people and tell them it is wrong.

That was the "cool" way of saying iPod Touch. It's almost like text-talk - now that drives me crazy.

Same. Though, when I see it over-and-over in one spot, I get a bit peeved.

It doesn't bother me as much as people not knowing certain features of the iPhone. For example, my friend didn't know there is voice control on his 3GS when he has had it for over 4 months now.

 

[xraydoc]

Yep.
"Iphone" bugs me to no end.
As does "MAC" and "Ipod."

 

[iPhone3GCrazed]

It bothers a lot. But what bothers me the most is when people call the iPod Touch, iTouch. It's like calling an iPod Nano an iNano.

I seriously hate this, also. It's like people just buy it because of the name, without knowing anything about it. Personally, I research all my purchases thoroughly and by the time I get it, I know just about all there is to know about it.

 

[applemax]

I can just about cope with Iphone, but I draw the line at iTouch, i-pod and people who call the Apple Store the iTunes store - and yes, I know people who do that!

 

[sniffies]

I hate when people spell Iphone as [eye]ph0nE!!

 

[kdarling]

No, it doesn't bother me, and neither does iTouch. Why should it? They're product names for goodness' sake.

They're nothing compared to the clear lack of even an eighth grade education that at least half the forum posters around here demonstrate every day.

Using "your" for "you're".
"There" instead of "their" or "they're".
"Mute" instead of "moot".
"Effect" when they mean "affect".
"Defiantly" or "definately" for "definitely".
"Loose" when they mean "lose".

Perhaps the most common goof is using "it's" instead of "its".

I'm not talking about those who speak English as a second language.. .heck, they usually do far better than some of the so-called native speakers.

Not really. I'm not that anal if people use a lowercase i or an uppercase one

 

[brucem91]

Yep, it bothers me. Its iPhone, not:

IPhone
Iphone
I-Phone
iphone

and then

iTouch
I-Touch

UGH.

 

[sniffies]

I hate when people call my MacBook Pro MacBook Professional.

No, not at all.

 

[Leet Apple]

it annoys me to the fullest i often catch myself typing these mistakes

 

[RonHC]

Yes it does
and so does iTouch, it sounds stupid, iPod Touch sounds more professional

YES!!!

or "to" instead of "too"
there's a ton more, I just can't think of them now

 

[macintosh.apple]

Or when people call apple Mac. I heard some say,"ohh your itouch is broken, you will have to send it to Mac to get it fixed. Mac won't fix it if you broke it."
