Macman you dumb retart!

<< < (5/6) > >>

Pissed_Macman:
There's a lot of good content on my site written by other people that unfortunately use the term PC. I'm not going to change other people's writing, so I would be forced to take down a large chunk of my content. Would you be happy if I put a notice in several places informing people that PC actally means Wintel?

Calum:
yes, like i said a few days ago, remember that excellent site you linked to about why macs are the best computers for schools? they had a really good two sentence disclaimer explaining that when they said 'PC' they meant an IBM compatible desktop computer running microsoft windows. So long as that is made clear then it's all hunky dory. it's not good saying 'YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN YOU RETARD' if some people clearly do not know what you mean. if everybody knew what you meant then you would not get any people telling you your terminology was wrong (or confusing, whatever).

So just include a disclaimer on the top or bottom of articles that use the term 'PC' in a stupid way. that's my vote anyway, i mean it's your site, i'm just trying to point out how its meaning could be a little clearer.

Pissed_Macman:
I posted this at the bottoms of the Articles/Evange and the Rantings sections. Hopefully it will make my site less "retarted".

Disclaimer: PC is a term that is used to describe non-Mac computers, not just Windows computers. There are other PC operating systems that this website has no quarrel with. Unfortunately, this term has been used incorrectly in some of the content here. Unless stated otherwise, please take the term PC to mean Wintel.

Calum:
i never thought you were retarted in the first place! but well done on doing that, it's made me happy!  :D
