That isn't what it is named
It is such a small thing, and it means nothing in the grand scheme of things; but oh does it wind me up. Particularly when I see this in mainstream media who are 'supposed' to get this kind of thing correct.

Ipod, i-pod, IPOD - no. It is called an iPod.

MAC - Fine if you are referring to a MAC address or a brand of cosmetics. If you are referring to a band of computer; well then that is a Mac.

XBOX, X-Box, X-Box - that'll be an Xbox then.

Just how difficult is it to refer to something by the name that the creators gave it?

Imbeciles.

Apple were going to release a version of the iTouch for the school-age market
but they decided that the 'iTouch Kids' would perhaps not sell too well.


(Yes, I know it's called the iPod Touch, but that wouldn't work with the joke).

I refuse to call a Wii a Wii.
It's pronounced Why-Eye.
I know you're refering to the written/typed word. But what the hell.

This, only it's Wipeout (WipEout) and Playstation/Play-station etc. (PlayStation) that annoy me most.

Yes!
This irks the fuck out of me too. Whenever I read about Ebay, Iphones, the BBC's Iplayer etc. I gnash my teeth in rage.
