i have a deep and irrational hatred for the fact that some people call computer programs "apps" now of days
The l33t w4r3z d00dz were calling applications 'appz' since at least the '90s. Then there was that brief period where Apple tried to claim "app store" was short for "apple store" so no one else could say it..
Actually the proper nomenclature of the time was 'warez'.
That is our word and you have no right to use it
