OK John,
This has bothered me since I saw the billboard. Any chance the slogan on the T-shirt
could be punctuated:
Think "different"
? (This may also help those translating.) As I'm sure you know, without that
punctuation, the connotation of the slogan is an ungrammatical version of "Think
differently." (Act locally?)
Tell them, John. Tell them for the sake of English education!!! Apple has a
reputation of being the educational pc of choice.
Thanks,
Andrea
