Kube nguyena impela iphini likamongameli wezokukhangisa wakwa-Apple, uPhil Schiller, ocacise ngokungabaza abaningi bethu ababenakho futhi wakwenza kwacaca ukuthi iningi lethu lisebenzisa kabi ubuningi be-iPhone ne-iPad. Akufanele sisebenzise "iPhones" noma "iPads", kepha iningi lethu liyalisebenzisa. Siphinde senze amanye amaphutha lapho sibhala le mikhiqizo okubalulekile ukuthi siyazi ukuze ingaqhubeki nokusebenzisa kabi ulimi lapho sikhuluma ngayo. Okulandelayo yincazelo iRoyal Academy yoLimi uqobo esinikeza yona ngokusetshenziswa okufanele kwalawa magama.
UPhil Schiller usanda kukusho, kepha iRAE yakucacisa kudala, yize abaningi (njengami) bengakakuboni kuze kube manje, ngemuva kokufuna imininingwane yokubhala le ndatshana. Kakade ngo-2012 I-RAE icacisa ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kobuningi ngamagama i-iPhone ne-iPad akumele kwehluka ngokungeza noma yikuphi "s" ekugcineni, ngoba yizimpawu zokuhwebas:
Lawa amamaki asetshenziswa i-metonymy ebhekisela ezintweni abazikhombayo, njengoba i-Academic Grammar ichaza. Kutuswa ukuba zigcinwe zingashintshiwe ebuningini lapho zigcina ngongwaqa ("the iPads") futhi zengeze u-an uma zigcina ngonkamisa ("ama-iPhones").
Kepha-ke kufanele sisebenzise "ama-iPhones" ngempela. Cha, iRAE iyacacisa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi:
Kodwa-ke, igrama ayisebenzi ngamacala afana nalawa iPhone lapho kwenzeka khona ukuthi, uma libizwa ngesiNgisi, liphela ngo -n (/ áiphon /), ngakho-ke kufanele lihlale lingashintshiwe, kepha libhaliwe, liphela ngonkamisa futhi lifune ubuningi ngo - Ngakho-ke, futhi ngokubheka ukusetshenziswa, zombili izinqwaba zingathathwa njengokufanele: "i-iPhone" ne "iPhones"
Kuyacaca-ke ukuthi ama-iPads akufanele asetshenziselwe ukuqamba ubuningi be-iPad nokuthi indlela eyiyo yokusebenzisa i-iPhone ngobuningi iyefana, noma ngabe lapho ibhalwe ngonkamisa ekugcineni singamukela "iPhones" njengelungile. Kepha ukunaka uPhil Schiller futhi nokugcina ukufana okuthile, kubonakala sengathi into efanelekile ukusebenzisa i- "iPhone" ukubhekisa ebuningini nakubunye.
Kepha ukusesha nokusesha ngithole elinye iphutha nami engilenze kaningi ezikhathini eziningi: Isihlanganisi "no" sisetshenziswa kanjani phakathi kokuya phakathi kwegama elithi iPhone negama elithi iPad?. Angidingi ukubheka izindatshana zami engizibhale kuzo, ngoba impela ngisebenzise i- "iPhone ne-iPad" izikhathi ezingaphezu kwesisodwa, kepha iRAE nayo icacile ngakho:
Umthetho ukubeka isihlanganisi esidingeka ekuphinyisweni: «iPhone ne-iPad», uma usiphimisa / aipad /.
Lokho wukuthi, lapho kuphimiselwa u- "aipad" no- "aifon" isihlanganisi "futhi" kufanele kusetshenziswe phakathi hhayi u- "e". Kusukela manje anginazaba zokuyisebenzisa ngokungafanele, nawe awunayo.
