How many of these mispronounciations do you use?

I'm guilty of about 5%, which isn't too bad (assuming the source is authoritative). Thanks to Jen for the link.

No, I did not change my mind about not wanting that desktop shortcut.

Dammit, Apple...why do you have to be so insidious about shortcuts to your software? When I first installed Safari (which I must admit is actually a pretty good browser - perhaps good enough to displace Opera and IE in my hierarchy), I deleted the desktop and taskbar shortcuts that you placed there without asking me. Now, after updating Safari, and having to uncheck the box that would install iTunes (which I never wanted in the first place) as a tag-along, you have replaced the desktop and taskbar shortcuts once again without asking me. Why can't you just:
(a) only install what I ask you to?
(b) ask me before placing shortcuts?

Your current behavior is not helping you to win me over.
