http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/job[1] For some reason, my browser didn't update the URL when clicking on the noun non-pronoun version of the word. There is _zero_ mention of compensation in the dictionary definition. Yes, one's employment is typically referred to as one's job (which is likely why Wikipedia says what it does), but it doesn't _have_ to refer to one's employment. Wikipedia is giving an overly narrow definition. > > And since there is a group of us working on D, there is most > > definitely a we. > > What is a "group", what is "working" and if there is a "we", who > belongs to the "others"? > > > I'm not quite sure what point you're trying to make here though. > > Limit yourself only by scales, which you yourself have chosen. I still don't see why any of this is relevant to the discussion at hand. We're talking about the state of D and how it's perceived by those outside of the D community. It looks to me like you're just trying to be a troll. - Jonathan M Davis
