Terminology

To Whom It May Concern:

I would like to clear up a few frequently-confused terms:

  • Confusing Ludacris and ludicrous provokes laughter because of absurdity.
  • The only people who confuse “looser” and “loser” are losers with a loose grasp of the language.
  • CPU refers to the processor on your motherboard. It is not a technical term for your whole computer, nor its chassis/case/enclosure.
  • Unless you actually understand the difference between a backslash () and a slash (/), you should probably just say “slash,” because it’s almost certainly what you mean, unless you’re dictating regular expressions or connecting to Windows network shares.
  • Communism, Socialism, Leninism, Marxism, and Fascism are not all synonyms.
