| Several people have asked me to explain what I meant in yesterday's strip about the three types of users. I am happy to respond. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| Novice (nah-viss) nah means not and viss is Latvian for all that much. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| So a good definition of a novice is someone with not all that much experience. So far so good. How about intermediate? | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Intermediate (inter-mediate) inter is between and mediate is to solve or settle. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| So a good definition of an intermediate is someone who is settling in between a novice and some experience in the future. So far so good. How about expert? | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Expert (ex-spurt) an ex is a has-been and a spurt is a drip under pressure. | |
