Re: words



First, in the spirit of fun, I will nominate epistemic and epistemology.

Now, I will agree somewhat with Julie, in defense of these words (somewhat). 
In my first comp theory course I had to look these words up every time I came
across them.  I think this was, in part, because different writers used them
in widely varying contexts.  Consequently, every time I hear these words now
I have to stop and think, now what does that word mean?  Is that a good thing
or a bad thing?  Frequently I miss the next part of the argument while I'm
flashing back to my epistemological memories.
