They generally appreciate the need to differentiate, and they're general willing to agree that the less-informed developers need to have the difference spelled out to them.Steve Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05804225687542185765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554986873086232138.post-53212369914821126042009-10-05T20:53:41.939-07:002009-10-05T20:53:41.939-07:00The struggle I seem to have finding a ubiquitous l...The struggle I seem to have finding a ubiquitous language is when the business want to re-use terms in different contexts.<br />For example, we have a "synonym" in the context of tagging, where each tag can have a synonym. Then we have a "synonym" in the context of spelling dictionaries. Then there was discussion of a "synonym" in the context of search queries... which thankfully we managed to get quashed.<br />And, of course, in conversation, people regularly use the word 'synonym' when discussing other contexts - it's an English word, it's hard to avoid.Kornyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00640116507315330520noreply@blogger.com
