It would be great if your regex was used everywhere.
Leave it to Washington to unknowingly take a euphemism for sex chat and
use it both for the name of a military branch ("Cyber Command") and for

- pnathan 14y agoCyber- was a prefix long before AOL. iirc, it was coined in '82 by Gibson and popularized in the cyberpunk genre of literature.
- jcr 14y agoThe "cyber-" prefix is actually much older than Gibson. In English, the use came from the term "cybernetic" and that term came from or was based on Greek. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/cyber- http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/cyber- http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/cybernetics http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/cybernetics
