> That's why everybody uses the word "orthogonal" here all the time. Have you ever seen that word anywhere else? Yes, frequently. It is common in various areas of math -- mathematical background is not something "normal people" usually flaunt, but there are good reasons to expect programmers to have much more such background than average. A good rule of thumb is that people are probably using the words they use because those words make sense to them.
