    Who doesn’t like compounding two words with different meaning by definition, but for some inexpiable reason have the same meaning in the programming world, by shortening them?

    Now the poor, average programmer has to deal with strange words. One such example is “permission,” which is normally used within a casual context, rather then within a more serious context, like a program handling secure data. The poor programmer can now no longer take his job seriously, and is now forever in an existential crisis, due to the lack of formality. ;)
