Tap instead of click.

You don't click anything with a smartphone.

You might as well call it a click.

But then everyone will ask how you click with a smartphone.

So if I told you to drive to Melbourne and you didn't drive, you wouldn't
have the sense to take a bus?

Its different with stuff you arent familiar with.

It's precisely the same action.

But the anals like you will howl about that.

No I wouldn't. It's always been click. Touchscreens are a new thing.

And so someone being told how to do things
on one will ask how you click with a smartphone.

App instead of program.

Works better than prog.

They both sound stupid.

Only to the pathetically anal.

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

Your problem, as always.

Even you dregs use bob, bill, joe etc etc etc.

Words have to be longer to be unique.

Arvo is much more unique than afternoon and twice as long.

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.

You are just as pathetic.

********. I detest the pathetic ones. You can't say someone is pathetic
for hating what pathetic people do.

I can and so say that you are pathetically anal about word usage.

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

Not that pathetically anal.

It's a blatant contradiction!

Only for the pathetically anal.

No, it's just wrong. What if I told you to heat down your food, or cool
it up in the fridge?

Only the pathetically anal obsess about stuff like that.

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.

Because you are that pathetically anal.

You can look a geek in the eyes and not feel that desire?

Nope, but then I'm not a psychopath.
