"Code that TDF cannot support would be "atticized"... The proposal also included a process for "un-atticization"...The response to the proposal was swift"

Did the swift response come from linguists crying into their beers, by any chance? :P

No :P

Oh, it might upset language peevers, but actual linguists generally shrug off these kinds of things because they're interested in describing and analysing language, not prescribing it.

"Crying into your beer" is reserved for things like "well crap. the existence of this language means we have to completely rethink one of our fundamental concepts of language analysis, and someone else managed to get their paper on it out the door first." :)
