Can we all just agree that whether or not Java is an interpreted language is not really relevant to the post? Let's direct further criticism at the arguments and conclusions rather than small technical gaffes.
Anally nitpicking at that sort of thing does nothing to further discussion, and I hate to see it here so often.
That was actually my point. When someone doesn't know the technical meaning of a phrase, they generally assume the literal and broad meaning of it. The target audience for the original blog post presumably falls mainly into that category.
And just because something is not of particular interest to you doesn't make it anal nitpicking that "does nothing to further discussion."
