For a technology editor like me, the responsibility of being careful with words and their meanings could be considered an occupational hazard. But since I delight in that side of my job I see it as a joy. An interesting part of that is acknowledging when terminologies become so pervasive they rarely need to be used. Such was the case with “electronics”, and then more recently “embedded”-and today even the term “COTS” isn’t necessary since at some level everything in the defense industry uses COTS components or systems.
