Is this saying that a term (word, phrase, acronym, abbreviation,
whatever) can only have a single meaning? (04)
What did I miss here? (05)
As I have observed before & will undoubtedly observe again... (06)
George Miller's "Ambiguous Words" http://www.kurzweilai.net/
ambiguous-words offers an average of 10 meanings per (real) word. (07)
My dictionary of largely acronyms (but where's the line between
acronym & real word... I don't have a clue) finds some 34 meanings
per term/word. Whittling that down to 1 meaning per term is going to
be tough. (08)
