Quite true. But there is another word there "only".

I don't think jwz would have had a problem with it if you called it EmbeddedGL or PhoneGL instead of trading on the name of OpenGL. Like jwz I thought "Oh its OpenGL I've got code already that does most of what I want." only to find none of that code worked.

Were people really surprised that Java ME, Java SE and Java EE were different APIs around the same core idea of write once, run everywhere?

So this whole rant was just about the name having a common substring of three or more characters?

I hope nobody tells JWZ what Linux was supposed to sound like.

true. I think I read your meaning wrong anyway.
