pg, I previously said that I didn't think your usage of the word startup is in line with some others' and that this leads to semantic discussions all the time. At the time you replied that you think the best strategy is just to use the word properly.

I've since seen 'startup' being used by my bank, an accountant, a printer etc. They all mean 'new business.' Half the books with startup in the title mean new/small businesses.
