Does the 'misspelling' of iPhone bother anyone?

[sniffies]

YES!!!

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

attendence insted of attendance
seperate insted of separate
acapella insted of a cappella
once and awhile insted of once in a while
wala insted of voilà
lay down insted of lie down

Can't think of others. I'm sure theirs a lot more.

lol! Right there is one in bold 😀

 

[scottness]

Yes, but not enough to create a thread about it... 🙂

 

[idonotliketostu]

i don't care how anything is misspelled or misspoken as long as it is sufficiently close to the original word or meaning

 

[Vegeta-san]

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."

OMG that seriously grinds my gears....I have a friend who does the same thing (calling 'Apple' 'Mac').

Another thing that bothers me is when people who are typing refer to Macs as 'MACS'. WTF? It's not supposed to be in all capital letters you stupid little s*it.

 

[cobie454]

it bothers me to an extent but i get over it pretty quickly

 

[kdarling]

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

If you're going to be anal, at least get it right 🙂

It's "iPod touch", lowercase.

HTC makes "Touch" (uppercase) phones.

Perhaps this was one time that Apple's secrecy goofed them up, by not filing early enough. Or not.

You seriously are going to complain about "acapella" when you can't even spell "instead" or choose the correct "there's"?

lol +1

 

[celticpride678]

Yeah, it bugs me too. You should just ask people, "What's an IPHONE?" 🙄

Also, when people type MAC instead of Mac, it bothers me.

 

[Southern Dad]

Some browsers spellcheck programs still think that iPhone or iPod or iPad are misspellings. Good thing I use Safari. Steve Jobs thought to make certain that it could spell them correctly.

 

[spillproof]

Iph0n3z r kewl.

 

[CrAkD]

you people are anal lol.

 

[Eddieowns]

I hate I-Pod/I-Phone... I also hate when people call the iPod touch the iTouch..

 

[appleguy123]

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.

This bothers me too. It immediately makes me lose respect for them. The iPad automatically "fixes" its to it's regardless of use so I forgive that one.

Jeeeeeeee Wiz you city folk sure are snobby.

As far as the iPhone versus Iphone debate I would agree with you. But misusing the English Language in general is a big deal. It's how we'll be remember by people in the future. Corruption of our grammar really makes me angry( if I was you, it don't matter, me and my friends talked).

 

[Abyssgh0st]

This always bothers me. That and the infamous 'iTouch' or wretched 'Itouch' makes me want to commit mass murder.

But I want to do that anyway.

I was joking.

But , you knew that 🙂

 

[Blueline29]

It irritates me, yes, but not nearly as much as "iTouch" does.

 

[Blueline29]

Lol. That said, another one that annoys me is "for all intensive purposes" instead of "for all intents and purposes." Ugh.

 

[fishmoose]

It dosen't bother me when someone does it on a forum or something, but when I read a "proffesional" article where its misspelled I'm not many seconds away from e-mailing the author.

As mentioned refering to Apple as 'Mac' is the worst one, I have corrected people on that multiple times but it never helps 🙁

I speak English as a second language and man, that grinds my ****!

Also, add people who can't properly use articles "a"/"an" to the list.

A iPhone.........

This. I don't care whatsoever what people want to call proprietary electronic devices. As long as it is clear what the reference is I don't see why anyone gives two hoots.

 

[WeegieMac]

Yup, the two worst two misspellings for me are "I phone" and "MAC" ...
