- aboodman 12y agoIt is common to repurpose words this way. I think it is called 'metaphor'. See also: half the names in technology and all nearly every apple product name. Anyway, I find the term useful.
- nox_ 12y agoMetaphors make sense, that reusing of isomorphism doesn't, however you quote Greek words to justify your means.
