- dragonwriter 6y ago> As a term OO means what people understand it to mean. I would suggest that if you asked people to define the term, Kay’s definition would likely be the single most common (even after normalizing variations in wording). It would still only be a plurality, sure, but the remaining majority doesn't share a common understanding, either.
