May his legion articles and books forever be a gauge as to : what is ordinary, what is ill-bred, what is ignoble, and what is not to : be avoided at all costs in the field of object-oriented technology. Yes, I suppose that words, not being sentient objects, _would_ be at a loss to do much of anything beyond merely existing. And if Martin's writings are "not to be avoided at all costs", what are the costs at which they _should_ be avoided, and where can one find said legion of articles and books at non-avoidance costs should one wish to not avoid them? Finally, how can articles and books (non-sentient objects again) be "ill-bred"? Are there ill word-breeders amongst us? Ill-word breeders? Just how does one bring up well-adjusted and well-behaved words? Word breeders NEED to know.
