When starting to read the article, the first thing I noticed was the "iPhone 4′s".
For some reason I really react annoyed at people using an accent instead of an apostrophe (4′s vs 4's).
I'm not sure why, but this always gets me
- aes 15y agoTo add a little nitpicking to your nitpicking, it should've been a right single quotation mark (’, U+2017). In fact it's not an accent (´, U+00B4), but a prime (′, U+2032). Since none of these characters can be easily produced on a standard US keyboard, I suspect that the blame belongs not on the author but on his publishing system that thought he meant "4 feet" (or perhaps "4 arcminutes").
