Yeah English needs another vocab grouping.
Greek, Latin and <tech lingo>.
- Izkata 3y agoThe word you're looking for is "jargon". It refers to niche-specific words that are hard for outsiders to understand, and isn't just tech-specific. "Lingo" is a much broader term.
- barrysteve 3y agoTrue. I was grasping at straws for the right word. Thank you. The Greek/Latin/<jargon> structure should be standard or taught in schools in some capacity. Basic programming concepts are popular, useful and should probably be taught as a sub category of English... given that programming is supposed to be a language, and pull its roots (somewhat) from English or "natural language". Society would produce higher quality code if the basic concepts were considered as a literacy requirement for children.
