I've also always wondered about Apple's tagline "Think Different". It irks me as it seems in my mind that it's incorrect and should be "Think Differently". Any ideas on this?

Ad copy is meant to attract attention. Also, this is I think a pretty deep pun. But if it really bothers you, note that they've stopped that ad campaign.

Don't "think different" and "think differently" have two different meanings? I might say "think cars" or "think computers" in an ad and I'm not sure I'd be wrong.


Well, they have attracted attention, haven't they!
