Something very odd…

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?

Cheers, Neale
