ephemeral and ethereal are commonly confused words.
- danielmarkbruce 4y agoI guess that's fair. It's sort of a smell when someone uses the wrong word (especially in writing) though. It suggests they aren't in industry, throwing ideas around with other folks. The word "ephemeral" is used extensively amongst software engineers.
- dublin 4y agoEphimerides really throws them. (And thank God for PyEphem, which makes all that otherwise quite fiddly stuff really easy...)
