Example Citation:
"I used to think this trend started with companies that affected computer lingo — CompuServe, DigiCash, WordPerfect, HotJava — but lexicographer Richard Weiner, who I suspect coined inner-capped on the analogy of the mafia's knee-capping, reminds me of the 1959 TelePrompTer." — William Safire
