Some quotes from the same person: For those of you who use phrases like "OO methodologies", it's "OO method". The word "methodology" indicates the study of method.
No. Multiple meanings for symbols doesn't make the language less accurate or less useful. I disagree. Modeling is not _a_ framework. It is the _process_ of building a framework. Modeling is a behavior, not a state. Very ambiguous human languages are quite useful and are in no danger of being replaced by unambiguous languages. Further, an argument can be made that the ambiguity in languages makes them _more_ useful than strict languages.
