kramulous: Note I did not say that ron's definition was wrong, only that it didn't match the sources I checked. No, Wikipedia is not the final arbiter, and I checked (and cited) a more traditional source as well. My real point was that if one is going to make a statement about the wrongness of another's word use, one should back it up. Ron is not the "be-all, end-all" of definitions either. If you want people to learn, point them to useful resources.
Your analysis of "the problem" is exactly the point of TFA. The stated concern is not that the content of the tags has no standard, but that the format of the tags has no standard. If a single tag contains multiple words, should the words be separated by spaces or underscores, or should we use StudlyCaps?
