Comment on iPad: marketing genius or naming debacle? by kimiko1231

I think you hit the nail on the head with your last paragraph. It is a stupid name, but once it settles in, people will move on and forget that there was a better name out there – or multiple better names – at one time. My question is: What's their next product and will they forever stick with the 'I' in front of their products. I, for one, think it's getting a little old.

No problem. I liked your theory, so thanks for the quote. I think you might be on to something here. We must uncover the truth, Howard.

Hey, thanks for the mention.

As a non-app user I hadn't thought about the Farmville explanation – and I'm amazed the FB folks didn't either, it does sound more plausible than my conspiracy theory. But then maybe that's what they want you to think

There is a transatlantic divide about the word 'yard' - in the UK it tends to mean 'an enclosed area outdoors', like a prison yard or builder's yard. In the USA, the yard is the area surrounding a house/building - what for Americans is a yard, is the garden in the UK.

In Jamaica, however, the yard has come to mean one's entire home - 'mi yard'. Jamaican gangsers are known as Yardies http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yardie because these rude boys were from the poorest area of Kingston - the government yards or state-built tenements.

I don't know what sort of yard the FB massive are on about, but if we apply US and Jamaican logic to the situation in the UK, we might end up calling our gangsters 'gardenies' or perhaps 'gardeners'. But then some people might already think of Alan Titchmarsh as the Al Capone of horticulture. Blud.
