The C Vocabulary

[bobl at tekgds.UUCP]

I wonder if Dennis Ritchie had this in mind:

				THE C VOCABULARY

	The C vocabulary was supplementary to the others and consisted
	entirely of scientific and technical terms.  These resembled
	the scientific terms in use today, and were constructed from
	the same roots, but the usual care was taken to define them
	rigidly and strip them of undesirable meanings. ... Very few
	of the C words had any currency either in everyday speech or
	in political speech.
