Saying they don't know their job is rather like saying Linux and all the others who've contributed to SUSE 10 are not expert in computing.
You take much liberty with intended/perceived meaning of statements. Nowhere did I say that _anyone_ didn't know their job. There are many varying degrees of proficiency. You are presuming only two and at opposite ends of the spectrum. As a group, I would agree that EVERYONE (singular) is most definitely not an expert in computing. A large percentage may be.
I rather think most lexicographers, like most programmers making worthwhile contributions to Linux, have training and experience in their craft and that they are competant at their jobs.
I would argue that *many* of the programers making worthwile contributions to linux have little or no training and contribute more as a hobby or pass-time. Just because I am a journeyman cabinet maker does not mean that I am knowledgable in the production of wire brads, plastic knobs, varnishes or stains. SOME lexicographers *may* be quite knowledgable in computerese. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2
