Apple Tweaks Word Spacing To Avoid Embarrassment

Apple has changed the coding for the web page promoting its El Capitan operating system because one of the words could be mistaken for something else.

The spacing - or kerning - used on Apple's font means that when the letters 'c' and 'l' appear together they can look like the letter 'd'.

Given the operating system's slogan is "There's more to love with every click", Apple was obviously keen to avoid any confusion.

Spotted in the website's CSS code is a tiny tweak, which adds extra spacing between the letters of the word 'click'.

It might seem overcautious, but Apple is a notoriously prudish company which keeps a strict rein on software appearing in its App Store.

For some reason, the additional spacing only applies to the US site at the moment, and not the UK's El Capitan page.

El Capitan is the latest version of Apple's desktop operating system.
