Who said anything about “hate”? And isn’t hate too strong an emotion to waste on something as mundane (i.e. “worldly”) as telephone bills?

Oh, Donna, it’s not so much about what’s “correct” — I have no problem with the idea of language evolving.

What irks me about this one is that I think in Australia people are more likely to use “ph” instead of “f” in this context — and that’s just bad marketing, because people can’t find you.

[...] As for Vodafone, earlier this month I wrote about how I thought Vodafone’s website was broken because I went to http://www.vodaphone.com.au by mistake. I thought it’d be nice to suggest how they could fix that. [...]

Now that is odd, ‘Pong — because at least in German the word is “Telefon” with an “f”, so you’d think they’d be less interested in the “ph” spelling!

Mind you, this assumes that the decisions are being made globally, instead of in an uncoordinated, scattered country-by-country way — and of course the latter is more likely.

Interestingly enough, http://www.vodaphone.co.uk is redirected to http://www.vodafone.co.uk but http://www.vodaphone.com is to http://www.vodafone.de as well as from http://www.vodaphone.de. Obviously, PH is stronger in Deutch. It’s such a complicated world!

[...] So that leaves Vodaphone. But on this rainy Saturday morning their website is unreachable—that builds confidence! I couldn’t find their website because I know how to spell. [...]
