“iTunes. The entertainment capital of your world.” Nice spelling there, Apple. Maybe a spell check in the next OS? Linkhttp://twitter.com/Lea_Ada_Franco/statuses/2213575740

    I fail to see the spelling error….

  2. stumo says:

    Erm, I see no spelling error?

  3. sworm says:

    I don’t get it either.

    Correct use of capital too.

  4. tros says:

    Maybe it’s supposed to be “capitol” instead of “capital”?

  5. jere7my says:

    Tros: “Capital” is used both for capital letters and the capital of a nation, or things resembling one: “The entertainment capital of the world.” “Capitol” is the building a legislature meets in, named for the Capitoline in Rome.

  6. sworm says:

    Nope. Capitol is the building. Capital is the city/town/village with pretensions.

  7. Jimmy says:

    Wow. FAIL BBG. Unless you see something I don’t.

  8. AirPillo says:

    A failure in calling someone else out for failure is automatically an epic failure.

  9. David says:

    Also, OS X has a spell check already.

  10. Luke says:

    I believe the complaint is with the punctuation and not the spelling. A colon should have been used instead of a period to separate the clauses. TextEdit’s spell check does however catch the grammatical error.

    I think she meant that they spelled “iTunes: the program you put up with in order to load stuff on your iPod” wrong.

  12. twofedoras says:

    This is what we like to refer to as a Rotsky.

  13. sworm says:

    I rather like itunes. It works under osx.

    Also, isn’t it entirely plausible they meant capital as in “You pay us money. Your music purchases are OUR capital.”
