There are more than enough things developers can't spell -- before they become developers. Since this (hopefully) will not be too commonly used, I don't think that being an uncommon word for non-native speakers of English should be a problem. Especially as it is used quite widely even in German. (There is no other acceptable English description for retired professors.)
So we expect developers to learn non developer related terms yet common developers terms are off limits, like "BC"? regards, Lukas Smith smith@backendmedia.com _______________________________ BackendMedia www.backendmedia.com berlin@backendmedia.com Linn Zwoch Smith GbR Pariser Str. 44 D-10707 Berlin Tel +49 30 83 22 50 00 Fax +49 30 83 22 50 07
