The only people who say "puter" are people who think they are cute somehow by mispronouncing computer...

I used to work with a guy who referred to his processor as "the prog"
I just wanted to beat his ass everytime he'd say it

Then there's the other guys who refer to the whole PC as the CPU.
time for a beatdown

My 77 year old neighbor refers to his machine as his 'Puter or Pooter, and yes it is a bit anoying.

It makes people sound like 8-year olds. 'Lappy' 'Puter' 'Shotty'. All retarded.

I hate this, similarly I hate the way people say "compooter" like some morons say "toob" instead of "tube"
