If you're going to be that picky, then in your title it should be either "OK" or "Okay", not "Ok".

And heaven forbid people abbreviate something to a shorter name. How dare them.

...and while we're at it, the nickname for the computing platform built by Apple is "Mac" which is capital 'M', small 'a', small 'c', which is short for Macintosh. It is NOT "MAC", which would signify an acronym.

M•A•C (with the dots) is short for Makeup Artists' Cosmetics. Nothing to do with computers. I mean, Crikey, people.

Jason, please take your meds. If the incorrect capitalization of MaCwoRLD irritates you that much, then you really need to adjust your dosage. ;)

Happy to say I got it right the first time (although I had to check my own post after reading this). Hey Jason, check out my Macworld predictions at http://www.sax.net/live/?i=273 - several of them I haven't seen anywhere else.

My pet peeve? People writing 'grammer' instead of "grammar".

Plus, you could very well use an Apple instead of a Mac... if you are 25 years behind everyone else. :-)

Jason -- kudos to you for pointing out these annoyances. As a former journalist, I too wince when I see English written incorrectly.

Let's also take out a contract on:


-- the use of "it's" when meaning something other than "it is" or "it has" (e.g., my MacBook Pro fried it's motherboard - WRONG);

-- for that matter, the apostrophe incorrectly used to suggest a plural (e.g., I own two laptop's -- WRONG); and

-- the ampersand (&) in written prose (that is, not part of a logo) (e.g., The MacBook & the MacBook pro are the best ... -- again, WRONG).

I could go on and on ...

Jeronimo...

You are right about grammar. Always hated spelling that word. But Apple has always been only a manufacturer name, not a product name. You might have used an Apple I (unlikely), Apple II, Apple II+, Apple IIe, Apple IIgs... but not just an Apple. It's like if I ask you what kind of car you drive, and you answer Taurus, but I used to drive a Ford. "What kind of Ford?" I ask. "A Ford," you answer. Nice.

Sorry.....

Slow newsday perhaps?

forgot my capitalization.

Part of the reason people call it MacWorld as opposed to Macworld is because it used to BE MacWorld. When the magazine underwent a redesign and rebranding a few years ago (ok, maybe by now it's a lot of years ago) They changed their logo from MacWorld to Macworld. People who have been in the industry a while remember this, and still type it that way.
