"-le" is a forgotten suffix in English - it's integrated so far into words that we no longer register it. It indicates continuousness: to sparkLE is to repeatedly spark, to scribbLE is to continuously scribe, etc.

So it's very fitting that a company named Apple continuously makes apps.

@PavelASamsonov wait does that mean one can coin new words like spankle or readle or watchle?

@oblomov @PavelASamsonov

Why not, *nobody can stop you*.

I think there's a diminutive connotation too, like -ul- in Latin, so to spankle would perhaps be to repeatedly slap lightly and playfully.

I don't really find it questionable. It feels rather innocent, actually, and fun. I'm just being silly, no need to edit for real.

@PavelASamsonov
Cool, I looked it up and am happy to see it's a real thing, not just a premise for your joke!

@PavelASamsonov in South German dialects, -le is used as a diminutive (and often in an ironic sense, using the diminutive form when it is actually quite a bit bigger)
