Mar 29	comment	Word request: Well-known and generally accepted I have edited my answer to include the clear definition from the OED. The word "conventional" has 12 definitions, "anecdotal" has 2, "common" has 5, and "mainstream" has 2. Sure, anything can be used as a buzzword, and that has nothing to do with whether there are clear definitions.
Mar 29	revised	Word request: Well-known and generally accepted Add the definition of "best practice"
Mar 28	comment	Word request: Well-known and generally accepted Kris, did the OP specifically ask for positive connotations? I don't see any hint of this in the question.
Mar 28	comment	Word request: Well-known and generally accepted Kris, isn't that true for any of the other suggested words? The words conventional, anecdotal, common, and mainstream can all be used where specific evidence would be more convincing.

Mar 27	comment	“More clear” vs “Clearer”: when to use “more” instead of “-er”? It's not too surprising that "more clear" is more popular: "clearer" is a bit of a mouthful.
Mar 26	comment	Why is “primer” pronounced with a short “i” sound? I'm surprised this answer is so highly rated. It assumes that the short-i is a recent phenomenon (which it's not), and it doesn't give any information about regional variations or history.

Mar 24	comment	Testing software by giving the output back as input There is a wide variety of answers, each of which is consistent with the question, but none of which is consistent with another. I think this indicates that the question is poorly worded and incomplete.
