OK I spelled it wrong. If I post as a fact I should have at least spelled it correctly.
It's app because Ralph changed his name to be marketable. Ralph Lipschitz wouldn't work and neither does purchasing from a U.S. manufacturer. Purchasing from China was the corporate and logical thing to do. They do it better and cheaper. U.S. exceptionalism is over, the last 2 generations gave it away. China is the future and we might as well buy from our enemy,, or is that frenamy.
Let's all get used to it.
