Prescriptive vs. descriptive.

It's how this term is used already. I remember seeing it as a kid, when I first started dabbling in building games.

If we want to enter fights about prescriptive definitions, then - at the risk of committing tu quoque fallacy - I'd like to ask the JS and nouveau-functional-programming crowd to stop renaming things that already have established names. Signed, Don Quixote.
