How IT Ruins Our Language.

Ok, I get that we might want to use a hip label like 'spyware'. Fine. But do we need 'antispyware' ? And, even worse, do we need 'antispyware software' ?? Do tech journalists ever even THINK about the language they use ??
Seriously, folks. 'Antispyware' is the Word of the Day. And I'm very tempted to add 'software' to the term, exactly as it was used TWO TIMES in the same teenie tiny article.
Antispyware software. What do you think the 'ware' in spyware stands for ???

God. Morons.
