You may not like the terminology, I may not like the terminology, but our opinions are irrelevant.
I translate this to "if you see something as wrong, do not do anything about it". Your English/Erikspeak dictionary came in handy again, I see. What do you get if you translate it back the other way? So, if everybody just accepted misuse of laguage, anyone could misuse/misapply/mishandle a word or phrase and expect nobody to object? then, after a while claim that whatever terminology was invented to describe whatever thing is now "accepted" The terminology is already accepted. You're too late. Well, in that case I shall propose we call the '51 a supercomputer and expect that to become accepted terminology that all will follow. No. People will not follow your desire to change existing terminology. |
