    And what gave you the impression the OP was not a native English speaker or the response was somehow related to language?

        Don't jump to conclusion, on both counts. But you go right ahead and have fun uni-voting all the posts you can

              I give up: why apple won? You might think Apple is number one, but everyone else knows they're number 2.

                Gets my 5. I used to teach to 16+ in the UK, some of the dingbats could only aspire to the clarity of language and level of thought given in the OP. And that was the staff.

                    I have a 27" iMac and love it. But yes, they are no.2 in volume out there. It's unfortunate that no.2 in the UK (perhaps elsewhere) is a slang expression and means you are going for a poo. Some will interpret that as a metaphor.
