Ibingusekela mongameli wentengiso ye-Apple, uPhil Schiller, othe wacacisa ukuthandabuza ukuba uninzi lwethu belunalo kwaye ikwenza kwacaca ukuba uninzi lwethu lusebenzisa gwenxa ubuninzi be-iPhone ne-iPad. Akufuneki sisebenzise "iPhones" okanye "iPads", kwaye uninzi lwethu luyayenza. Senza nezinye iimpazamo xa sibhala ezi mveliso kubalulekile ukuba sizazi ukuze singaqhubeki sisebenzisa gwenxa ulwimi xa sithetha ngazo. Nantsi ingcaciso esinikwa yiRoyal Academy yoLwimi malunga nokusetyenziswa ngokuchanekileyo kwala magama.
UPhil Schiller usandula ukutsho, kodwa iRAE iyicacisile kwakudala, nangona uninzi (njengam) bengakhange bayiqonde de kube ngoku, emva kokufuna ulwazi ukubhala eli nqaku. Sele ngo-2012 I-RAE icacisa ukuba ukusetyenziswa kwesininzi ngamagama i-iPhone kunye ne-iPad akufuneki kwahluka ngokufaka naziphi na "s" ekugqibeleni, kuba ziimpawu zorhwebos:
La ngamanqaku asetyenziswa yimetonymy ebhekiselele kwizinto abazichazayo, njengoko iGrammar yeziFundo icacisa. Kuyacetyiswa ukuba zigcinwe zingatshintshanga kwisininzi xa ziphela nge-consonant ("i-iPads") kwaye zongeze i--s xa ziphela ngesikhamiso ("i-iPhones").
Kodwa emva koko kufanelekile ukuba sisebenzise "iPhones." Hayi, iRAE iyayicacisa kamva:
Nangona kunjalo, iGrama ayijonganga namatyala afana nalawa iPhone apho kwenzeka ukuba, xa ibizwe ngesiNgesi, iphela ngo -n (/ áiphon /), ke kufuneka ihlale ingatshintshanga, kodwa ibhaliwe, iphela ngonkamisa kwaye ifuna isininzi kwi -s. Ke ngoko, kuthathelwa ingqalelo ukusetyenziswa kwayo, zombini ezi zininzi zinokuqwalaselwa njengefanelekileyo: "i-iPhone" kunye ne "iPhones"
Kuyacaciswa ke ukuba ii-iPads akufuneki zisetyenziselwe ukubiza isininzi se-iPad kwaye indlela echanekileyo yokusebenzisa i-iPhone kwisininzi iyafana, nangona xa ibhaliwe ngesikhamiso ekugqibeleni sinokwamkela "ii-iPhones" njengezichanekileyo. Kodwa ukunikela ingqalelo kuPhil Schiller kunye nokugcina i-homogeneity ethile kubonakala ngathi eyona nto ichanekileyo kukusebenzisa "i-iPhone" ukubhekisa kwisininzi nakwisinye..
Kodwa ukukhangela nokukhangela ndifumene enye impazamo endiyenzileyo amaxesha amaninzi: Isihlanganisi "kwaye" sisetyenziswa njani xa kuhamba phakathi kwegama elithi iPhone kunye negama elithi iPad?. Akukho mfuneko yokuba ndikhangele amanqaku am apho ndibhale khona, kuba ngokuqinisekileyo ndisebenzise "i-iPhone kunye ne-iPad" ngaphezulu kwesihlandlo esinye, kodwa iRAE icacile malunga nayo:
Umgaqo kukubeka isihlanganisi esifunekayo kwindlela yokubiza amagama: "i-iPhone kunye ne-iPad", ukuba uyayibiza / aipad /.
Oko kukuthi, xa kusithiwa "aipad" kunye "aifon" isihlanganisi "kwaye" kufuneka sisetyenziswe embindini hayi u "e". Ukususela ngoku andinasizathu sokuyisebenzisa ngokuchanekileyo, kwaye nawe awunaso.
