We have plenty of grammar and style pickypants Dopers around here; we really don’t need one more.
Well, yes we do.
I just got an email from Apple touting its iPod touch. It is …
THE FUNNEST iPOD EVER.
Name of GOD. I have purchased an Apple product (an iMac), and my husband has the new iPhone. We are intelligent people who appreciate the intelligent design 
of the Apple product line.
And yet … I am subjected to “the FUNNEST iPod.” To quote Lina Lamont, "I keeeeent STANNIT!!’
What… do you think there’s a funner one out there somewhere?
This has GOT to be a whoosh. Right? Please?
I read something today - for the life of me I can’t remember where except that it wasn’t a 16 year old’s blog - it was some newspaper. And the writer used the word “majorly” in a news story. Not quoting anyone, just out there like that.
I had to look, and damn if Merriam-Webster doesn’t have it in there.
What’s a matter? Can’t think different?
Edit: The Globe & Mail had the taste to put “funnest” in quotes, and the restraint to refrain from explicitly calling Mr. Jobs an ass.
Think Funner.
Amo, Amas, Funnerest
I mean, my god, it is like totally the funnest Ipod EVAH! It’s like, you know, super fun! Cha!
Fun, funner, funnest, even funnerest, funnest ever.
The word ‘fun’ now has no meaning to me. If I wasn’t reading it in this thread, I’d be suspecting myself of just making it up.
Funny how that is.
Yeh, I first read it as ‘Funniest iPod Ever.’ And I was all like, bwah?! Then after I read it over for the eighth time, I realized it was ‘Funnest’. Then the neurons in my brain all atomized at the same time and left me on the floor bleeding from my head-holes.
Same here. That was weird.
It’s supposed to be “FUNNEST IpOD EVER”? Stupid cAps loCk!
I misread the thread title and subconsciously made a real word. Consequently, I ended up coming into this thread expecting a story about an iPod with nothing but Mitch Hedberg on it.
