> I'm sorry you took such offence...

You're sorry he took offence? That's a pretty passive-aggressive apology isn't it?

You used the phrase wrong. He corrected you. I don't think you're allowed to claim any high ground here.

> I do feel that forcing Apple to link to a competitor, and advertise for them, is a form of punishment though.

That's supposed to be the whole point, I think.

wow, really? that phrase is used all the time in a lax, colloquial manner, he didn't 'use it wrong' at all.

why is everyone jumping to wikipedia over this? nothing better to do today?

It was quite genuine, I didn't mean to offend or upset. Lesson learnt!

You don't mention this, but I didn't to edit my original post, as i'm not a big fan of editing post content - but rather adding as part of the conversation.

He didn't "use the phrase wrong"; he communicated his meaning effectively. Dictionaries (of English; there is no acadamie anglaise) consist of observations, not rulings; if a dictionary disagrees with usage, it is the dictionary that is wrong.
