     Not only that, but the contact information isn't stored "on the cloud"   
   in the first place. But "on the cloud" sounds so conveniently scary, so   
   why say where it's actually stored, when you can lie about it being "on   
   the cloud"?   
      
     BTW, "*on* the cloud" isn't that bad anyway, but I digress ...
