shiv or shim?

Common question: what's the difference between the html5shim and the html5shiv? Answer: nothing, one has an m and one has a v - that's it.

I love the irony of this self fulfilling prophecy of this dilemma too lol:

Heh, indeed. It sounds like someone was single-handedly responsible for perpetuating all this confusion on a large scale. :-P

take it up with them lol

Honestly though, IE can die for all I care, so perhaps in that context, a 'shiv' is applicable
