Say What Now?

Some of you will know that I have over the last six months or so joined the Cult of Apple. A now extremely well-used Macbook has become my only home PC, and recently an iPhone 3G and Airtunes have joined my arsenal of Apple products.

And I must say I’m enjoying the experience enormously. Whilst I know a lot of people find the phrase misleading (and in some particular cases a downright lie) my whole interaction with Apple and all their products can be summed up in the words “it just works”. And as a day-to-day IT professional, occasional PC builder and generally technologically clued up guy it has come as something of a relief to get home of an evening and not have to do any of that tech-support type stuff.

That said, though, the recent release of the new iPod range has left me with a slightly bitter taste in my mouth.

I mean… “funnest”? What sort of a fucking word is that?

It’s a good thing us Grammar Nazis are not really a vigilante bunch, otherwise Mister Jobs would probably find rumours of his death not so greatly exaggerated after all.

Ugh. Even thinking about the word makes my flesh creep.
