I was amused by "abhorration", which seems like it should be a word, but
unfortunately is not. The word you were reaching for is "aberration".


Are you sure he wasn't reaching for "abhorrence" from "aberration"? I'm
sure Intel spent too much money and invested too many man hours for EMT to
be an aberration. However, it was definately abhorrent to a huge industry
invested in x86.
