Hm... Personally I feel just the opposite. I think the computer industry has taken too many normal words and forced new meanings upon them. Words like program, compiler, desktop, window, folder, mouse, &c., all have been cast into new roles; all were once unambiguous, but nowadays they need more clarification if their meaning is not clear from the context. So I don't mind new, ICT-specific words like email one bit! Pim Blokland
