'Member a while back when we were talking about words that could
be typed with one hand? It doesn't use only your left hand, but
I just noticed that the word "dereference" really gives your
index and middle fingers a workout.

(Yeah, William Safire might not think it's a word, but it does
get used in computer "science.")andrew@inmet.UUCP (01/07/84)

#R:azure:-247300:ucbesvax:6900010:000:267 ucbesvax!turner Jan 7 18:21:00 1984 I don't like "dereference"--referencing is not an invertible operation. I prefer the venerable "effective address". Of course, programming terminology is such a mish-mash of mixed metaphors and misnomers to begin with... --- Michael Turner (ucbvax!ucbesvax.turner)
