It would be nice if the Google PM(s) and engineers attached to this project were well-versed enough in searching the Web to be able to turn up the definition for the word "wiki". Instead, because these fucking dipshits couldn't spend two goddamn seconds (dis)confirming their hunch that it means more or less the same thing as "encyclopedia" or "knowledgebase", they vomit this bullshit out into the universe and encourage everyone else to treat the words as interchangeable, too.
Fuck everyone associated with this.

Signed, someone who remembers when we tried to convince the media that "hackers" were the ones who built novel stuff and innocently probed networks to understand them and the people who breached systems maliciously or for personal gain should be called "crackers." And someone who watched the GNU people be very upset for decades about linux not being called "GNU/Linux."
