Could we stop calling qualified professionals "nerds"? One of them is an independent cyber-security expert. I find it insulting. To me, nerd comes with this definition: "an unstylish, unattractive, or socially inept person".
The journalist should be ashamed. What is this, high school?
Edit: I find very interesting that this post was upvoted to 20, downvoted to 10 and is now back to 15. It seem that not everyone is insulted by the term "nerd" !
