The ever-sharp-tongued Brit Register has done it again.

But really, it's Merriam Webster that used the Apple fanbois == sheeple example.

Has M-W joined the ranks of Apple-Haters?

MacBooks are engineered quite nicely. Definitely worth the extra $1500.

I hate it when dictionaries decide to “add words”. They always end up adding words like twerk”.

Last year I got the S8 and then later my neighbor and friend got a new iPhone.

He was adamant that the iPhone was better in everyway. End of discussion.

Last week there was a thread here that proclaimed the new iPhone to be faster than the S8.

The article failed to mention that the present iPhones sold are not compatible with the new Gigabit LTE being rolled out while the S8’s are.

Who cares if you app loads fractionally slower if your download comes in 10x faster.

Agree 1000%.Some of us are familiar with a "Freeper" whose profile,curiously enough,shows that 99.9% of his posts are threads started by him/her either in praise of Apple or slamming Microsoft and Android.These posts are always *very* professionally done,almost as if he was an Apple employee or stockholder.

I,for one,like my Windows PCs a lot.I also like my Android phone a lot.I've also liked the last three diesel cars I've owned (diesel being a "niche" market in the US).However,I don't obsess...or even come close to obsessing...over any of these items.I like them,I use them and I'm quite satisfied with them.

To some in this world,and even to one or two here on FR,Apple is a cult.

Apple is like Islam

The other problems in both group about 98% percent of the followers are radical

There is no computer but Apple and Steve Jobs is its profit.....Apple Akbar!!!

I’m curious when dictionaries pick up Trumpisms like “bigly”.

Apples are what you use to make cider.
Ending a sentence with a preposition? That’s something up with which we shall not put!

A better sentence:

“The sheeple were so ill-informed they elected 0bama to a second term.”
