Delete. If there is edit: were a real advertising term like attention score or something, then it would be better defined. This follows from the first def. DAVilla 20:57, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I am sorely tempted to add "attention score" based on the 200+ raw bgc hits and the precedent of special purpose language. What makes computer-related SoP phrases any better than this one? DCDuring TALK 21:30, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing. This is not well-defined jargon like prior knowledge. DAVilla 22:28, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]


plural form[edit]

Changed to "plural form obsolete" as my non-native speaker friend read "often plural" to mean that it is easily countable and made a mistake in his essay to this effect! In actuality, this word is rarely pluralised nowadays. Tooironic 08:22, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
