Abstract :
Words such as `input´ and `Feedback´ can be useful and meaningful when accurately defined in a technical context such as computer science. English professor John McCall at the University of Cincinnati has begun a semi-serious campaign against the metaphoric use of such technical terms in non-technical or unrelated conversation and writing.
