This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Just how was 'Vector graphics' only added in this month? Surely its been more than half a century since the term came up?
I think the words have to reach some sort of threshold for popularity before inclusion in the dictionary. Before that, it's just industry jargon. There's probably thousands of graphic design terms that aren't in the dictionary right now.
