Subject: RE: [emix] Common and Specified words
The recommendation is to capitalize the “keyword” or “terms” when used in a normative fashion throughout the document. This approach is inconsistently applied in wd28. The phraseology below is a start to correcting the problem. Aaron --------------------------------------------------------- Aaron F. Snyder, Ph.D. Principal Consultant EnerNeX p: 865.218.4600 ext. 6147 // f: 865.218.8999 e: aaron@enernex.com // www.enernex.com From: William Cox [mailto:wtcox@CoxSoftwareArchitects.com] I think that the convention (if not mentioned) should be described in say wd28 line 18 "Terminology". I'd suggest for consideration the following: William Cox
There are times in EMIX when we use common words prescriptively, meaning exactly as defined in the Spec There are time when we are just using common English. Price. Product. Schedule. It is my impulse to separate the normative and non-normative use by the use of capitalization. All non-normative common use of the words occurs *before* the definition. A commenter suggests that all be capitalized. Comments? tc “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.”
