[[Java#Proper noun]]
Fragment of a discussion from User talk:Rua
Ok please explain to me:
- Why a definition that specifically states "proscribed" is misleading, considering that I provided citations that demonstrate that some people really do mean "JavaScript" when they say "Java".
- Why my knowledge of programming languages has anything to do with this. I am well aware that Java and JavaScript are different things. However, what I am aware of is completely irrelevant to the definition, because I'm not the only English speaker in existence and thus other people will use words differently from how I use them.
- Why my lack of integrity is in question when I simply re-open an RFV because I don't think it was closed properly. I specifically am waiting for someone who is more experienced with Wiktionary to handle the matter, as I have more faith in their judgement than in someone who has never made any edits and thus is less likely to understand the subtleties of Wiktionary policy and common practice.
