this is funny - a friend of mine was given a new green iPod nano for V-Day, this morning, engraved.

Posted by Andie (aka Andie) Feb 13 '09, 07:08

she's thrilled, except this is how it's engraved:
"Happy Valentines day Love Mark."

She said she's not sure if that un-capitalized 'day' is going to drive her mad every time she looks at it, or if she'll find it charming - eventually.

Responses:

tell her she should think of it as him saying that she (the Valentine) is more important than the occasion (just a day). - TFox Feb 13, 07:16 3
- or maybe she could be happy that her boyfriend gave her an ipod and she's kind of a bitch for nitpicking the capitalization. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 07:18 2
  - well, *that's* a little bit overboard. - TFox Feb 13, 07:21 1
    - totally, and it's her husband, of like 15 years. -- nm - Andie Feb 13, 07:36
the lack of punctuation would drive me crazy. does apple not engrave commas? -- nm - mafic Feb 13, 07:14 2
- i have the feeling this is Mark's fault, not Apple's. -- nm - Andie Feb 13, 07:16 1
  - At least she still loves him. Her iPod says so -- nm - Guigue Feb 13, 07:16
crazy-making. She'll have to get a case thingy for it. -- nm - Amy Feb 13, 07:13

the d isn't the only thing wrong -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Feb 13, 07:11 1
- oh, she knows (she's a copywriter!). but it's the 'day' that's bugging her. -- nm - Andie Feb 13, 07:12
misspelling would be way worse. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 07:10
That lack of punctuation is a bit maddening. -- nm - ty97 Feb 13, 07:10 8
- It's probably on 2 different lines at least -- nm - Guigue Feb 13, 07:13 7
  - it would have to be i think, just for space. -- nm - Andie Feb 13, 07:13 6
    - I think we need a photo. - ty97 Feb 13, 07:16 5
      - it's in her facebook status at the moment - i'll tell her we need a pic. -- nm - Andie Feb 13, 07:16 4
        
        that's kinda mean. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 07:17 3
        
        oh, it's not, really. on her public page she said 'it makes me love him more.' - Andie Feb 13, 07:20 1
        
        ah, ok. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 07:21
        
        oh, pshaw. if it was a sensitive topic, it wouldn't be in a Facebook status. -- nm - TFox Feb 13, 07:18
definitely insanity inducing -- nm - oblique, better than nubby Feb 13, 07:09
