  • Abstract
    This guest editorial notes that in the preparation of this glossary, there was no intention to dictate what language people should use. Instead the policy of other compilers of dictionaries was used. The intent was to record usage, considering both the extent of usage and just who uses certain terms in certain ways. The policy of recording usage appears to be the only way to aid in eliminating dialects without stifling progress.
