Popular Post Aristos Queue Posted March 25, 2012 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 A friend pointed me to a website dedicated to restoring rare words to common usage. The site randomly picks a word for each visitor to popularize. I got two, and both of them are excellent choices for me since I have a use for both of them. The one that I encourage LabVIEW users to adopt is: primifluous: that which flows first. As in: "The primifluous wines were excellent." For LabVIEW and dataflow, the usage is obvious: "The primifluous nodes initialize the hardware." "Perhaps you should make that assertion primifluous.""FP Terminals are primifluous unless placed inside a structure node." (The other word, in case you're interested, is "nidifice", and older term for an eagle's nest. Pronounced with "nigh" at the beginning and rhymes with "edifice". Given that NI's mascot is Nigel the Eagle, and that this term begins with "ni", I will henceforth refer to NI headquarters building as The Nidifice.) 4 Quote Link to comment
kiyuna Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 That is a big word you're asking engineers to use. Although when put in the context "The primifluous wines were excellent." I think its quite easy to remember. Quote Link to comment
Daklu Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I didn't know the eagle has a name... Quote Link to comment
