»JavaScript« has been added to the OED. One can find it here:

http://public.oed.com/the-oed-today/recent-updates-to-the-oed/june-2015-update/new-words-list-...

. The short explanation says that it is a »proprietary name«
for a programming language that was developed by Brendan Eich
and commonly used for interactive features in web browsers.

1995 Network World 4 Dec.
JavaScript should make it easier for developers to populate World-Wide Web
pages with audible and animated interactive screen elements.

2001 Economist 22 Sept.
There is even a scripting language called JavaScript ? a clever marketing
ploy, since it is linguistically unrelated to Java.

Why do you hope I will not notice this?

Why do you post this, then?

Ummmm ... I guess its because I'm tired and depressed of thinking about
gravitational 'waves', and need somebody to berate me -- and thus take my
mind off this so-called wave search non-problem. When someone defines what a
'wave' is and further what is 'waving' (other than the ludicrous space-time
crap), then maybe I will stop needing abuse.

For understanding gravitational waves, why it is important to look
for them, and why space-time is not crap, you should subscribe to
<news:sci.physics.relativity>.

For everything else, you should consider this:

â??Learn reason above all. Learn clear thought: learn to know
what is from what seems to be, and what you wish to be.

This is the key to everything: The truth of reality,
the reality of truth. What /is/ will set you free.�

â??Surak

(Notice that I did not berate you.)
