<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2306627, member: 1892&quot;]The (apparent) sole disadvantage of online communities for numismatics is the dilution of the language. We practice a relatively narrow specialty hobby here, and like any similar there are certain words which are trade-specific with exact meanings. Too often people - deliberately, or through ignorance of the glossary - play fast and loose with such terms. It&#039;s confounding and obscuring, especially when the audience is mixed between those who know specific meanings for these words by habit and those who are hearing them for the first time.</p><p><br /></p><p>In my Nirvana, everybody&#039;s read the Glossary. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>But Nirvana doesn&#039;t exist here, and we have to be a little more precise if we&#039;re going to communicate at all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
