Copy multiple items in Safari
Authored by: soundsgoodtome on Jul 15, '09 10:42:33AM
It's not a good idea to submit a post containing terminology or acronyms like "URI" which are not universally known -- at least not without defining them in context. Many readers will have no idea what a URI is, and that should be taken into consideration when posting.

Erm, URI is pretty universally understood. Even if people don't understand the difference between a URL and a URI, they at least understand that it's a variation of what they understand.

What about "pasteboard", "jailbreak", "clipping", "address bar"? Heck, some people have trouble with "paragraph" -- do we cater to these people too?

FYI, a URI is a document location with arguments, whereas a URL is just a document location. Granted, he could have written "Web address", but in my experience, URI is understood widely enough not to require explanation.
