That's a really neat thread, probably the best one this week that I'd forgotten about... Had let PQzII, which I'd meant to check out months ago, completely slip my mind.

As an English instructor, though, I've gotta take issue with the misuse of "unsuspecting." Unsuspecting means 'trusting'... these apps don't trust. I think the word the original poster was going for was "unassuming" which means 'modest.' (/language tard)
