Meeting Tonight

[Michael Paoli]

Yes, very true, same venue can potentially add to confusion
or possibility/probability of such or error.

BALUG would be my guess too, but not mentioning the
BALUG meeting, using the BAD list, not mentioning
BAD (other than the use of the list itself),
and referring to the meeting as "the meet up" can lead to
lots of confusing.

Many venues have various meetings that happen there - some even
overlapping or quite matching in time spans.  Generally not
an issue if the specific meeting is named/referenced,
especially when context is otherwise ambiguous.
Heck, venue wasn't even stated - and even BALUG isn't
the only Linux related event that excludes all others
from meeting on the 3rd Tuesdays even for just San
Francisco (e.g. there's OpenLate on meetup.com, which
meets on various (approximately alternating?) Tuesdays -
and in SF at that ... but a distinct venue (but also, venue
wasn't mentioned either).

As I sometimes tell coworkers on specifications/requests,
"You need to disambiguate."  :-)
And yes, disambiguate is a word.
I had two coworkers, one that quite thought it wasn't a
legitimate word.  Another, a not native English speaker,
had absolutely no difficultly determining what it meant,
from it's logical construction.  And ... when I ran across
a printed book that used it thrice within, I showed the
print examples to the more skeptical coworker.  :-)
Okay, so maybe it appeared in an O'Reilly book before
some Webster's dictionary, but I know which I'd think
to be the more definitive and generally more
technically correct reference.  ;-)
