Subject: RE: BS: How do you pronounce URL?
What's wrong with clicky? People have always made homey nicknames for technical things. Probably in the 1950's the geeks were saying, "Just don't call it a teevee or telly or something childish like that." In the early 19th century somebody said, "Just don't call it a piano or something childish like that."

Must you insult things you disagree with? Does this give you a feeling of superiority? How childish is that?

feeling grumpy,
