Subject: Re: [xsl] What is a better word for "de-duplication"? From: Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2006 18:15:33 -0400 |
Honestly, if it were me (assuming I even decided to fight that battle) I would also always say "commonly called 'deduplication'", or something similar, to signal most readers that I was, in fact, just using a specialized term to describe something they already know about.
That's very good advice.
So, let's from now on refer to it as:
node factorisation aka de-duplication.
After repeating this sufficient number of times people will start to use the obviously better word, then the "aka" part will naturally wean out. Then hopefully people who write books will use the better phrase in their next book.
Cheers, Wendell
