==I am confused==
I am confused by this entry. Conservatism means defending the status quo, and so is against creating anything new. Radicalism means bringing about change. Ergo, bringing about new words is being radical, not conservative. [[User:Carltonio|Carltonio]] ([[User talk:Carltonio|talk]]) 11:48, 2 August 2020 (EDT)

==Algorithm==
Why is the word "algorithm" down here, and dated as originating in 1849? I thought the word "algorithm" was much older than that, and took its name from the Islamic scholar al-Kwarismi. [[User:Carltonio|Carltonio]] ([[User talk:Carltonio|talk]]) 02:11, 3 August 2020 (EDT)
