Just for fun: Nomenclature is everything. Witness medspeak, legalese, governmentese and gobbledegook. Or the way in which sesquipedelian terminology obfuscates rumination in the academic community.
Or the military, with its endless acronyms. In the Navy, for instance, the word "nomenclature" itself is the only multi-syllable word ever uttered by knuckle-dragging boatswain's mates (except, maybe, for some very creative hyphenated curses!). Webster's says it's a system of names or terms used by those who practice a particular science or art (supposedly in order to make their efforts more precise. But I suspect it's more to make issues seem mysterious and unintelligible to the rest us, therefore more expensive!). Also practiced by computer techs and motorcycle mechanics (!) Huh? What'd he say? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
