On 8 Mar 2005, at 06:53, Jerry Coffin 'taught' us that the language is 
"assembly", not "assembler."

This is fad. Of the 1990's I think. "Assembler" is correct. By use. To 
this day. Personally I find the fad irritating. "Assembly" tried to fix 
terminology that does not need fixing. To avoid colision us stupid 
folks just call the compiler "translator".
