Do you hate it when people say "puter" in place of "computer"?

[her209]

Seriously, it sounds retarded.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Indeed, puter sounds too much like Putt-Putt.

 

[Techie333]

wtf...ive never heard somebody say that.......i would be extremely annoyed tho

 

[notfred]

I've never heard anyone actually say that out loud.

 

[ribbon13]

It doesn't bother me in chat/text but if someone actually said it I would bitch slap them.

 

[Conky]

Puter is dumb. Putey is cool.

What makes me cringe is when I read "lappy" as an abbreviation for laptop.

 

[ts3433]

I don't particularly like "puter," but I do refer to it as a Compy or Lappy (damn you, Strong Bad).

The correct term is CPU.

 

[machintos]

Anyone who says that around me will get a "WTF" look from me...

 

[RaiderJ]

Makes me think of Kill Bill when Buck throws that guy the tub of goo. What did he say? Cooter or something.

As for "puter", I usually hear it pronouced as "pewter". Sounds goofy.

[Eli]

nope, I do it myself.

 

[Zebo]

I liked it better when they said "CPU" dispite it's inaccuracy. "puter" sounds like some sexual spot or something...not cute a all.

No it's not. CPU is one part of the computer aka Central Processing Unit.. The computer is everything

 

[chrisms]

If someone says puter I would assume they are talking about their johnson

Then again, I always assume they are talking about their johnson
