I hope you have now seen it demonstrated (in recent mails) that said tendency to "make up words ever day" only worsens a problem for which the obvious cure is a neat Terms and Definitions section.

To follow my own advice, I would define an "innocent professional" as someone who is professionally proficient one discipline/field of discourse, but is coming as a relative newcomer to another in which they can so easily be misled. It makes no assumptions as to their innocence or otherwise in daily professional/personal life.:-) mg _______________________________________________ Ltru mailing list Ltru@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ltru
