*PERSONAL COMPUTERS*

(as opposed to an ‘apple computer’?)

(in a ‘literal / ‘technical’ sense a ‘mac computer’ IS a ‘PC’)

(‘PC’ an ‘antiquated phrase’ that may confuse children)

(like ‘anti-semitic’)

(like ‘september’)

(its ‘root meanings’ based on spelling structure doesn’t hold true)

(in other words, a ‘mac’ IS a “personal computer”)

(an ‘anti-semite’ hates jews)
(not all ‘semitic people”)

(which would then include ‘arabs’ based on ‘shared language (+ ‘locational’) ancestry)

“long live the ‘lizard king’!”
