Confronted

Confronted

So many nerds making such a fuss over Apple's phrase, "...users will be confronted with a list of default browsers..." in their DMA press release. They seem upset by the word "confronted" because how dare Apple suggest that such an important choice is an unnecessary inconvenience. Except that in the real world, for maybe 99% of iPhone users, it will be an inconvenience, and they'll be annoyed or confused by it. Choice is important, but "Confronted" is not the wrong word here.
