Long time PHP fan.
It makes me pain to see extremely unprofessional community and - as a consequence - extremely low answers quality under PHP tag.
When answer, I am trying to distinguish three matters:
- What the OP asked
- What the OP wanted
- What the OP needed really
and answer latter one, not first two.
I am always trying to see couple moves ahead, grasping whole picture, not literal question only.

“Yor first bookshelf” for a non-native speaker @JLG oh thank you so much too. These modernlibrary lists are so exciting, I just can't choose between Joyce's brick of paper and pseudo-philosophical bullshit from Rand and Hubbard. I am curious if you bothered to read any of these yourself. |

A polite substitution for “lamer” @FumbleFingers I see no reason in deleting any answers for whatever reason. It's always a food for thoughts. |

A polite substitution for “lamer” @Fumble there is some nuance. Being ignorant in the area one never attend to, is not a shame - it's perfectly normal, we all are. But being intentionally ignorant where one is trying to participate, trying to teach others, while being not modest bot arrogant, is a shame. I feel that lamer more refers to that latter one, not just a newbie/one who don't care. |

A polite substitution for “lamer” That's closest one (at least to my not-so-good feel for English) |

A polite substitution for “lamer” Frankly, I don't want to be nice. More likely I forced to it %) However, lamer is not equal to neophyte. It's more likely an "arrogant neophyte". |

A polite substitution for “lamer” Well you nailed it right before I realized it myself. So, there is no answer at all. Just to refine your definition: A novice who tries to teach others on the matter. |

A polite substitution for “lamer” It more fits for a newbie than a lamer. |
