Greetings,

          I'm finishing up a book which has a chapter on the language of VR.
Below are some of the slang words and technical arcana I've collected that 
seem to be in more or less general use among VR developers. If there are others
that I've missed, and anyone would care to offer them to me with an explanation
of their meaning, I'd be happy to put your name in the acknowledgements of
the book. You could post them here or send them email.

Not sure if there are any other virtual linguists around, but
thanks kindly for any contributions,
