Re: Crispy around the edges

Index had nothing to do with this. It was a pure Search.

Which makes me ask another question. I think it is safe to state that the term "admin" is not a real word, but a jargon of system administrator or some form:

===========
admin

/ad-min'/ n. Short for `administrator'; very commonly
used in speech or on-line to refer to the systems person in charge
on a computer. Common constructions on this include `sysadmin' and
`site admin' (emphasizing the administrator's role as a site contact
for email and news) or `newsadmin' (focusing specifically on news).
Compare postmaster, sysop, system mangler.

=============

That being the case, how many people include jargon in their formal User Document that gets shipped with the application or the help file that gets included in the application?
