[A83] Re: NimbusOS
The name of the calculator is NOT jargon. It is a title to a product
which has already been set in precedent as the TI-83, whether you like
it or not. You are butchering the name of it. If you think it is jargon,
then you are mistaken. Stop trying to defend your nomenclature and just
say what you really want to, deep down in your heart: "I don't care what
you think; I will do what I want." But for the rest of the world, we are
going to call it just as it was titled years ago -- long before you
titled it.

How did any language evolve? I presume you lecture at people when they
say
"Aren't you going" (example taken from jargon lexicon,
http://info.astrian.net/jargon/ ). The name for the TI-83 circa 1996 (I
would say '96, but that is slang, *GASP!!!*)
was made before the + nomiculture was devised. If TI was smart, they
would
have called the 83+ (I hope that isn't TOO incorrect for your mental
parser)
the 83.5 or even the 84, but they called it a somewhat bad name, so us
nerds
have to fix that. It may not be the exact term, but neither is any
jargon.
Hackers have theirs, http://info.astrian.net/jargon/ , we have ours.
