00100	The profession which deals with computer programs has two interacting
00200	sides  --  the  pragmatic  and the theoretical -- but has no name for
00300	either.  The pragmatic side does have words describing  many  of  its
00400	tasks,  e,.g.,  "analysis", "design", "programming", and "debugging",
00500	but does not have a name for the craft as a whole.   The  theoretical
00600	side  is  often called "computer science", but this term is too broad
00700	because it also deals with hardware matters such as logic design.
00800	
00900	The following coined words are proposed to fill this gap.
01000	
01100		COMPUTICS
01200		COMPUTICIAN
01300		COMPUTICIZE
01400		COMPUTOLOGY
01500		COMPUTIST
01600		COMPUTOLOGIST
01700	
01800	The  pragmatic side of programming is covered by the words that begin
01900	COMPUTIC-.  The job of taking a  problem  and  developing  a  working
02000	program  to  solve  it  (including analysis, design, programming, and
02100	debugging) is called COMPUTICIZING.  The people who do  it  (analysts
02200	and  programmers) are called COMPUTICIANS. Their profession is called
02300	COMPUTICS.
02400	
02500	The theoretical side of programming is covered by  the  other  words.
02600	The study of computics is called COMPUTOLGY.  The people who study it
02700	are  called  COMPUTISTS  and  COMPUTOLOGISTS.   The  only  difference
02800	between  these words is that a COMPUTOLOGIST has a doctoral degree in
02900	computer science or computology, while a COMPUTIST needs no degree.
03000	
03100	Although these words are  not  the  most  aesthetic  in  the  English
03200	language, they are no worse than the words PRAGMATICS, MATHEMATICIAN,
03300	ANGLICIZE, ANTHROPOLOGY, PHYSICIST, or ANTHROPOLOGIST.
