[net.misc] anachronisms

honey (11/29/82)

i am occasionally amused by the anachronistic terms that we toss around
daily.  things like 'stty crt', 'rm core', or ACM.  i suppose the
alternatives are just as bad (rm mos?).

You think "stty crt" and "rm core" are anachronisms?
What about "CR"?!
When did YOU last see a typewriter with a carriage?

	I thought ACM was an acronym?
