While it may be anathema to say such on this list, I for one appreciated Chris Mason's "demand" that we be more precise in our writing.
If not for this, we would descend to the level of Alice in Wonderland where a word (or abbreviation, acronym, mnemonic, etc.) would mean only what one would desire it to mean at the moment which only makes those who come after us have a migraine trying to figure out what we actually meant. RIP Chris. I will be seeing you again soon enough.
