- mensetmanusman 6y agoThis one from the 50’s has a few thousands citations: “Solution of a Large-Scale Traveling-Salesman Problem“ http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.606.2752&rep=rep1&type=pdf http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.606... Currently Google scholar shows ‘salesman’ with an order of magnitude more references than ‘salesperson’ My only point is that if we are going to fork the reference, we should use something that is easier to say. (I honestly don’t care if we fork the reference :) ).
- Igelau 6y agoInteresting. I find 'salesperson' pretty easy to pronounce, and it has the advantage of not being homonymous with "cellar". Mileage may vary for your dialect and accent.
