Sir, – Icongratulate Frank McNally on his campaign against the abuse and misuse of the adjective ic*n*c. Icontribute an example of further assault on the English language; the (i)concept that placing the lower case letter “i” in front of the name of any mundane piece of computer technology instantly transforms it into a highly desirable device to rank with the best that the late Steve Jobs has to offer.

Icontend that to hoodwink the buying public in such a way can only be considered an iCon. – Yours, etc,
