  This was very nice. > grug learns that simple words best. simple words understood by everybody. simple words clear glass that shows if full or empty. Very true. I can always tell when someone is pretending to know something by their use of "fancy" words.

    Years ago for a users group I reviewed Database Design for Mere Mortals. My recollection is that the author spent two or three pages almost but not quite defining a) normalization, b) Boyce-Codd Normal Form. There is a place for five-syllable words.

      > There is a place for five-syllable words. Oh I agree, precision is more important than simplicity. Sometimes the tech/math jargon is necessary to get the point accross. When I said "fancy" words, what I had in mind was things like "utilize" which means the same as "use."
