Re: [platform-swt-dev] SWT pronunciation
|
Reasoning by the absurd (French literal translation, I am not sure how
to call it in English)
Title - who's on for Apple
Scene:
Steve is starting a company and finds a name he likes
--
Steve - "Hey, I am quite happy about setting up my Apple company."
Forest - "So... you changed business? But why fruits??"
...
It may even become like this advertisement campaign, which was using a
specific color and whenever one saw the color it reminded him of the
brand.

Title - Who's on Sweet.
Scene:
A software development shop office with the usual fare of computers, monitors, half read journals, assorted books, empty pizza boxes and half filled mugs of stale cold coffee.
Characters:
Joe and Moe, the usual over worked, underpaid and kind of weird literal computer geeks.
--
Joe - "Hey Moe, I am building this sweet prototype for an application."
Moe - "Really!? What is it? Did you get the new project they have been talking about?"
Joe - "No, it is the one we have to get done by next week."
Moe - "How can you call that sweet? It is just a simple SWT prototype."
Joe - "That's what I said... it is a sweet prototype"
(you get the idea)....
