From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   Other Lexicon Conventions
  
      Entries are sorted in case-blind ASCII collation order (rather than
   the letter-by-letter order ignoring interword spacing common in
   mainstream dictionaries), except that all entries beginning with
   nonalphabetic characters are sorted after Z.   The case-blindness is a
   feature, not a bug.
  
      The beginning of each entry is marked by a colon (`:') at the left
   margin.   This convention helps out tools like hypertext browsers that
   benefit from knowing where entry boundaries are, but aren't as
   context-sensitive as humans.
  
      In pure ASCII renderings of the Jargon File, you will see {} used to
   bracket words which themselves have entries in the File.   This isn't
   done all the time for every such word, but it is done everywhere that a
   reminder seems useful that the term has a jargon meaning and one might
   wish to refer to its entry.
  
      In this all-ASCII version, headwords for topic entries are
   distinguished from those for ordinary entries by being followed by "::"
   rather than ":"; similarly, references are surrounded by "{{" and "}}"
   rather than "{" and "}".
  
      Defining instances of terms and phrases appear in `slanted type'.   A
   defining instance is one which occurs near to or as part of an
   explanation of it.
  
      Prefixed ** is used as linguists do; to mark examples of incorrect
   usage.
  
      We follow the `logical' quoting convention described in the Writing
   Style section above.   In addition, we reserve double quotes for actual
   excerpts of text or (sometimes invented) speech.   Scare quotes (which
   mark a word being used in a nonstandard way), and philosopher's quotes
   (which turn an utterance into the string of letters or words that name
   it) are both rendered with single quotes.
  
      References such as `malloc(3)' and `patch(1)' are to Unix facilities
   (some of which, such as `patch(1)', are actually freeware distributed
   over Usenet).   The Unix manuals use `foo(n)' to refer to item foo in
   section (n) of the manual, where n=1 is utilities, n=2 is system calls,
   n=3 is C library routines, n=6 is games, and n=8 (where present) is
   system administration utilities.   Sections 4, 5, and 7 of the manuals
   have changed roles frequently and in any case are not referred to in
   any of the entries.
  
      Various abbreviations used frequently in the lexicon are summarized
   here:
  
   abbrev.
      abbreviation
  
   adj.
      adjective
  
   adv.
      adverb
  
   alt.

   suff.
      suffix
  
   syn.
      synonym (or synonymous with)
  
   v.

   var.
      variant
  
   vi.
      intransitive verb
  
   vt.
      transitive verb
  
      Where alternate spellings or pronunciations are given, alt.
   separates two possibilities with nearly equal distribution, while var.
   prefixes one that is markedly less common than the primary.
  
      Where a term can be attributed to a particular subculture or is known
   to have originated there, we have tried to so indicate.   Here is a list
   of abbreviations used in etymologies:
  
   Amateur Packet Radio
      A technical culture of ham-radio sites using AX.25 and TCP/IP for
      wide-area networking and BBS systems.
  
   Berkeley
      University of California at Berkeley
  
   BBN
      Bolt, Beranek & Newman
  
   Cambridge
      the university in England (_not_ the city in Massachusetts where
      MIT happens to be located!)
  
   CMU
      Carnegie-Mellon University
  
   Commodore
      Commodore Business Machines
  
   DEC
      The Digital Equipment Corporation (now Compaq).
  
   Fairchild
      The Fairchild Instruments Palo Alto development group
  
   FidoNet
      See the {FidoNet} entry
  
   IBM
      International Business Machines
  
   MIT
      Massachusetts Institute of Technology; esp. the legendary MIT AI
      Lab culture of roughly 1971 to 1983 and its feeder groups,
      including the Tech Model Railroad Club
  
   NRL
      Naval Research Laboratories
  
   NYU
      New York University
  
   OED

      Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (at Stanford
      University)

      of metric nomenclature used in the sciences
  
   Stanford
      Stanford University
  
   Sun
      Sun Microsystems
  
   TMRC
      Some MITisms go back as far as the Tech Model Railroad Club (TMRC)
      at MIT c. 1960.   Material marked TMRC is from "An Abridged
      Dictionary of the TMRC Language", originally compiled by Pete
      Samson in 1959
  
   UCLA
      University of California at Los Angeles
  
   UK
      the United Kingdom (England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland)
  
   Usenet
      See the {Usenet} entry
  
   WPI
      Worcester Polytechnic Institute, site of a very active community of
      PDP-10 hackers during the 1970s
  
   WWW
      The World-Wide-Web.
  
   XEROX PARC
      XEROX's Palo Alto Research Center, site of much pioneering
      research in user interface design and networking
  
   Yale
      Yale University
  
      Some other etymology abbreviations such as {Unix} and {PDP-10} refer
   to technical cultures surrounding specific operating systems,
   processors, or other environments.   The fact that a term is labelled
   with any one of these abbreviations does not necessarily mean its use
   is confined to that culture.   In particular, many terms labelled `MIT'
   and `Stanford' are in quite general use.   We have tried to give some
   indication of the distribution of speakers in the usage notes; however,
   a number of factors mentioned in the introduction conspire to make
   these indications less definite than might be desirable.
  
      A few new definitions attached to entries are marked [proposed].
   These are usually generalizations suggested by editors or Usenet
   respondents in the process of commenting on previous definitions of
   those entries.   These are _not_ represented as established jargon.
