Sigh, this stupid blame game again. Every single word in the English language has been "chosen" by someone else at some time or another, so if someone like Erann Gat needs to disassociate himself from what he does, he picks one of those people and says _he_ did not choose the word -- that other guy did. In the eyes of someone like Erann Gat, that somehow means that he is no longer responsible for what he says or does at all. I find such behavior very, very peculiar. Who could possibly be fooled by this _extremely_ annoying game? I must assume that the only purpose is indeed to annoy everyone. Fine, you succeed, Erann Gat. How long do you have to keep it going this time? Get a life or something. /// -- The past is not more important than the future, despite what your culture has taught you.
