    At work I see more and more people call their computers “labtops” instead of “laptops”. A Michael wave doesn’t surprise me.

        Dang, that labtop is so old it has a dialup modem built-in.

      Wot. That’s crazy. “Labtop” is harder to pronounce (minimally so but still) with voiced b immediately followed by voiceless t. Everything I know about linguistics (not that much, tbh) tells me that, if anything, a thing called “labtop” should over time evolve to be called “laptop”*, because it’s easier on the speaker with voiceless p and t.

      ^* … maybe even lappop…?^

        Yeah it blew me away too. I had though I’d heard a b sound a few times while talking to people but it wasn’t until someone sent in their device with a note attached that I realized it was a real thing. I’ve seen it a few more times since then (email, etc)

        Clearly something is pushing in the direction of voiced instead. The ultimate form is presumably “lambdop.”

      It is interesting how some terms over time are mispronounced and spelled incorrectly. And those doing it have no clue as to the actual term and how it is spelled

    Michael wave is one of those terms I’ve started using just to see if people will notice or address that it’s wrong. Like asking someone to pass the Parmesan cheese but calling it the paramecium cheese/paracetamol cheese/Paris Olympian cheese/parenthetical cheese

    Just imagine being the person who went their entire life believing the word “microwave“ was actually “Michael wave“.

    • RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I would suggest illiteracy, yet they were able to write the note. One ad for appliances, a trip through an appliance section in a store…heck, it’s probably spelled out on the actual microwave itself and would show someone how it’s spelled.

      I’d suggest it’s deliberately misspelled for effect, but the number of people who keep wrecking basic words like “could of”, too/to, there/their/they’re despite there being plenty of correct examples to read in daily life is far too high for me to assume someone wouldn’t be ignorant, willfully or otherwise.

    As a veteran dumper of useful stuff in the street, this is missing a magical word:

    WORKS!

    This is especially important during the age of CRT monitors since mischief-makers are glad to assume otherwise and smash the tube.

    This magic word makes stuff disappear twice as fast.

    I know we should all be used to it by now but it’s crazy to me that Daewoo makes everything from heavy equipment to container ships to cars to microwaves. Imagine having a refrigerator with a Chrysler badge on it.

      Hitachi is another another. Hydraulic excavators, air conditioners, elevators, vibrators, and ultrasound machines (for when you trade the vibrator in for the real thing. Either way they have a product for you).

        Philips makes everything from TVs to vital life or death monitoring equipment to barbeque grills.

      As a kid, my family’s first VCR was a Daewoo. Imagine my surprise when we passed some road construction and I saw the Daewoo excavators and other heavy machinery. Later on, a girl in my highschool class had a Daewoo. That one blew my mind even more for some reason.

      I have that microwave, my only complaint is that it’s a little small. The knob is much nicer than buttons

      That’s because it was designed by Michael Wave.
