Something I just noticed. Type in “Windows”. Hit return. Result: Windows; plural noun [treated as sing. ] trademark, a computer operating system with a graphical user interface.
Fair enough. Now do the same thing with “Mac” or “Macintosh”.
Mac, a form of address for a man whose name is unknown to the speaker.
mackintosh, a full-length waterproof coat.
Very strange, for the Macintosh OS X Dictionary, is it not?
