We shouldn't be giving currency to these non-words, even if lazy ****s
like T i m think they are able to produce references for them.


You shouldn't be posting here then as computers, usenet, etc. don't exist.

I remember when I first started my interest in computing I was told by
school teachers that the word "program" didn't exist (in UK English)

Now, if you you told someone that, they would look at you like you had
claimed to have just arrived from Mars.

The word 'Computer' is from the 1640s.
