You shouldn't. This has come up before. ESR is not particularly Ada
friendly, and his jargon file is mainly his feelings on the defnitions
of things. He's a clever guy, but he doesn't know everything. So the
stuff in the jargon file is often quite off the mark.

I much prefer to refer people to FOLDOC (
http://foldoc.doc.ic.ac.uk/foldoc/mirrors.html ), which takes
submissions from anyone. Its much more comprehensive, better maintained,
and wittier.
