The new iPhone rec­og­nizes, and auto­mat­i­cally cap­i­tal­izes, the acronym “NYRB.” Its a charm­ingly fussy idio­syn­crasy, espe­cially con­sid­er­ing the fact that the soft­ware is still sure you mean “it’s” every time you type “its.”

Two of the four major net­works and NPR get the same treat­ment–ABC and FOX lose out for obvi­ous rea­sons–but other organs of the haute bour­geoisie don’t fare so well. In fact sev­eral get down­graded: “nyt” becomes “nut,” “lrb” changes to “orb” or “leg,” depend­ing, and, my per­sonal favorite (how­ever inac­cu­rate), “tnr” trans­mutes itself into “TNT.”
