...it annoys me only because it is apparently some very old movie (or perhaps radio show) reference or something that I don't know. Sort of like when somebody uses some jargon from a sport we don't play here in the U.S., like cricket or Ausie football or Rugby.
My dad does it all the time. He's in his mid-sixties now. Maybe I'll remember to ask him about it when I see him at ex-mas.
I was just wondering if one of you folks who seem to want to shorten "computer" to 'puter could think back and try to fill me in on whatever it is in your past that makes you do that.
thanks,
