We use gadgets with our hands, so I suppose it's only natural that gadget reviewers are constantly evaluating whether or not a particular gadget "feels good in the hand." Fair enough, but it's a terrible, awkward phrase to read or write. And it's been done to death. Our friends at FWD compiled fifty instances of the faux pas; luckily, we seem only to be guilty of one.
