No :-) I would consider it *technical* jargon and as much a part of our nomenclature as any other technical word with an exact definition. So I'd leave it in, it's not the same category of thing as fuzzy English like "wonderful" or local slang like "cab". Looked at another way - if someone does not know what a shebang is, should they be writing a bash exam at all? -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com _______________________________________________ lpi-discuss mailing list lpi-discuss@lpi.org http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-discuss
