Tap instead of click.

You don't click anything with a smartphone.

You might aswell call it a click. It's precisely the same action. I even see instructions on how to fix things say "tap or click", like phone users are too stupid to know that click can be done with your finger.

App instead of program.

Works better than prog.

They both sound stupid. But as an Aussie you're more used to excessive shortening of everything, like "arvo" would never be acceptable in the UK.

Fewer instead of less (even though more has no equivalent).

Not that pathetically anal.

The pathetic are the ones that insist on using the "correct" one.

Slowed up instead of slowed down
(slow is less speed, so must be down).

Not that pathetically anal.

It's a blatant contradiction!

People who write computer programs
that say "hello world" and nothing else

Doesn't happen enough to matter anymore.

I only need to see it once to want to kill.
