Hi charles, You have brought this subject up multiple times on this list now, and from what I've seen you are the only person that cares at all how folks spell iphone. I don't really understand why you are allowed to go on and on about this time after time, as the posts about how iphone is spelled are completely off topic for this list,and several folks have complained already about the whining. Doctor, you may somewhat heal thyself though by changing the subject line to reflect what you are complaining about, so folks don't read your messages thinking they are going to be reading about storm 8 games. Your lack of effort to change the subject line is far more annoying to members of this list than how someone spells iphone. Give it a rest man, nobody cares how iphone is spelled here, we all know what is meant. Anyone can feel free to respond if you like off list by emailing me directly at: [email protected] While I realize my own message is off topic here, seems to me a goose and gander issue, and I think the community needs to know there are others out there that are sick of Charles' constant complaining about this while making his own list manners foibles, i.e. not changing the subject line to something like "My irrelevant rant about folks not hitting shift on the p key when discussing Apple's killer device." And just to make this somewhat relevant to list for those that have read this far, keep your eyes on the audio games dot tnet site over the next couple weeks for a major update about Rail Racer 2, yes, we are indeed close to a final release at long last.

How about the pronunciation through most screen readers and synthesizers? iphone? What the heck is that? On the other hand, iPhone is immediately recognizable, as is any other iDevice that is punctuated correctly. Maybe I'm in the minority, but it just sounds wrong. --- Shepherds are the best beasts, but Labs are a close second. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ryan Strunk" <[email protected]> To: "'Gamers Discussion list'" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, October 05, 2013 10:48 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] building in the storm 8 games. > One of my responsibilities at Target is working with the team who manages > and programs our iOS apps.
