Here with SU.BOOKS, in one dispute, a tax about chickens came up... So
this analogy stuck with me for some reason.
So, I really don’t like the fact that chicken is called milk.
A car is a bathroom, etc. etc. There are very specific names for very specific actions. And if people pretend to be “cool programmers”, then
they should at least understand this terminology and use it, and
not something they just invented.
And if they don’t understand this well, then let them listen to people who
know more about this than they do. And in general, you, after all,for example, don't you try to flame with some truck driver driving a tractor-trailer when he tells you, a car enthusiast, that this thing is called so-and-so, and not so-and-so? So why on the computer, or more precisely on the Spectrum,
every car enthusiast imagines himself as a cool truck driver?
Good luck! Evgeny.
