“Words”, or Latin dictionary misnamed
I am becoming more conscious of the importance of well-formed names for software titles. Particularly, because Whitaker’s program, the interface for which I once humbly created, is properly called William Whitaker’s Words. This name does not reflect the fact that the program is essentially a dictionary, but more importantly that it deals with Latin. It could be anything. Mr. Whitaker’s reflections on life, an English vocabulary game, a word processor rivaling Microsoft Word, an English dictionary… Very frustrating.
