Now, of course there's no reason to hate it. There's absolutely no convincing etymology for the word, but it does its job, it doesn't hurt anyone, doesn't take up a lot of space, doesn't eat up any resources. Doesn't interrupt, doesn't usurp, doesn't destroy. But when it does pop up it's like some strange kid at your dinner table who's not related or in any way attached to anyone. Where the hell did this kid come from?
"App," because I'm not a big fan of cutesy abbreviations when they're just excuses to avoid spelling longer words. If you can't even spell "application," how are you going to fill one out?
