The guiding principle is: Terms that don't contribute to the usefulness and the understanding of the product, shouldn't be introduced or used at all. Then there would be no need to define these terms upfront or whenever. Imagine how many terms of automobile terminology you don't know and don't have to know, to drive your car. The special terms should be reserved for the techies who develop the product itself. The terms should not be introduced to users, especially newbies, that just want to use the product. Of course, every users is invited to dig deeper into the product and become a techie himself, if he wants to. But only them is the time to confront him with the more technical terms. (In technical literature it's sometimes called 'advanced terms'.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
