Geoffrey A. Fowler And Yukari Iwatani Kane for WSJ:
Nintendo Co.’s website shows gamers “what Wii is all about.” As far back as 1984, Apple Inc. said in a commercial that it would “introduce Macintosh.” Today, an Apple video enthuses: “There’s never been anything like iPad.”Mignon Fogarty, who writes under the pen name Grammar Girl, has given up being outraged by marketing grammar, including missing articles.It’s hard, she says, to make the case that bad grammar is wrong when someone like Mr. Jobs announces that the new iPod is the “funnest” ever, she says. “How can you tell your kids, you won’t get anywhere in life if you use that language?”
