That's fine. But, communication is a skill and like all skills, can be improved. For my part, this is the first time I can remember seeing MIS used in the wild (i.e., not in university). Given the tech industry's propensity for overloading initialisms and redefining terms, I have to go by context to work out the meaning. In this case, the context was insufficient. I suppose I could just dismiss the comment, but curiosity got the better part of me. I'm glad someone asked. I also had to search what "4GL" means. I'm assuming this top Wikipedia hit [1] is what the OP meant. I don't know if it's reasonable to expect people to know these terms. But, the concise text is not saving anyone beyond the OP any appreciable amount of time, so what's its value?
