I came across a weblog post which repeated the commonly-made error that "Wi-Fi" is short for "wireless fidelity". I thought of writing the author to point out his mistake. In search of a web site which would make that point, I did a Google search ("wi-fi" and "fidelity" and "not") and came across page after page of positive hits, representing scores of entries saying in various ways that "Wi-Fi" is short for "wireless fidelity", and, interestingly, nothing to the contrary.
So I give up. Wi-Fi is, by God, short for wireless fidelity, by sheer brunt of repetition and mass acceptance. The smart man does not try to command the waves. When one hits, he must surf.
