Comments

For what it is worth, the languages used by users to name their devices are certainly not limited to US English. Out of the 1,000,001 device list, about 10,000 device names contain the Korean possessive "ui", about 5,000 contain the Japanese possessive "no", and a whopping 32,000 contained a Chinese possessive. Unsurprisingly, none contained all three. :-)
