From: David Peterson [mailto:DigitalScream@AOL.COM]> P.S.: Anyone heard of this practice of rendering the > plural of Macintosh as Macintoshen? Who dreamt this up?You should probably read this: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/html/Overgeneralization.html My theory is that some mac users found out about the -en pluralisation and ran with it.
