Subject: RE: BS: Mangling the English Language
maybe it's just because i work in a computer field, but it drives me up the wall when clients come in to the service department at my store after having left their computers for repair and say, "i'm here to pick up my modem." or "i left my hard drive here for repair", meaning of course, the computer.....

Call it obsessive, but I'm of the opinion taht if you're going to spend a couple thousand dollars on a machine, at least know what it's called.....
