  Would you please avoid that term? It is offensive to those for whom Kernighan/
  Ritchie/Thompson/Berkeley UNIX is the primary and sole computing platform.
  Thank you.

If the shoe doesn't fit, feel free not to wear it.  I certainly didn't have
`Kernighan/Ritchie/Thompson/Berkeley UNIX' in mind; I rarely do, as I am
much more interested in ancient systems.
