"katakana contagion" sounds so cool. I'm disappointed it's not a real thing. Could you explain what it means?

- kazinator 5y agoContagion is the spreading of some property from one entity to another by come form of contact. For instance "floating-point contagion" in computing which refers to a situation when an exact number and inexact number are combined together in on operation, and the exact number is first coerced to inexact. E.g. 0.5 + 1 is carried out as 0.5 + 1.0: the integer 1 value becomes 1.0.
