. I once hired a Russian programmer who, like Gore, mispronounced various technical terms.

He was Russian, Gore's American, and claiming to know what the Internet is and what runs it. Imagine hiring for a network engineer (American!) and he keeps referring to a "TCP/PI Stick."

Now you're catching on. There is MORE than just a mispronounciation needed in order to show a lack of knowledge of a technical subject. Clearly semantics alone won't do it.

That was my point all along...
