We Brits are a funny bunch, pedantic often comes up when people describe us.

@Reena – p’s and q’s is a very old expression, originates from Pints and Quarts (drink measures). For what it’s worth!

Stuff like this annoys me so much!
Can’t people use common sense at least some of the time?

Yes with the Brits, you had better mind your p’s and q’s.

Andy, I watched the ad...and while it may seem perfectly harmless to us here in the States, the British ad watchdogs take a rather extreme approach to accuracy. Even if Apple meant one thing by saying "all of the web" - that phrase means different things to different people. So, if Apple just added a small disclaimer to its commercial (a la prescription drug commercials), all would be well! Kari Rippetoe's last blog post..Whole Lotta Link Love Friday, August 22

Yes the British system in these matters as well as IP matters is far superior to anything else anywhere else. Nicole Price's last blog post..Good Deals on Lawn and Garden Products
