  1. "Windose"? by damiangerous · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Okay I get "M$", "Winblows" and "Windoze", even though I think it makes the writer look stupid, but how the hell is "Windose" supposed to be denigrating?

  2. Spelling it like that... by sebFlyte · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Is a result of 's' being next to 'z' on my keyboard, and me not proofing on weekends out of principle. Secondly, credibility? Meh. I spell it that way mainly because it makes me smile, and it's my own pathetic way of soothing the pain from the the chafe-marks i have from using XP all week and only being able to use OSX at home.
