@MichaelPascoe raised this important issue in another post (linked below), but i think it needs some serious consideration!
Are we ers or ists?

ers
Northern Hemisphere are "ers" and Southern Hemisphere are "ist". Equator you are "erist". 😂

Isn't really something you can choose. Takes a bit longer to reach the title Onshapist.

Lets not make it a binary problem - here a third one: Onshapionists.
It is a matter of consistency and cannot be decided upon as a standalone issue: It all depends on whether Onshape itself is an -ism, an -ion, or an -ology. I always get extra careful if things are - isms or - ions, for this rises the probability level of feet loosing grip to the ground.
So I think we're Onshapologists as long as we merely theoreticise on it, and might even be Onshapicians if we actually practicise it.
Some really good points being made!
@martin_kopplow I'd never really thought about it like that!
🤣
@Ste_Wilson
Think of language as some kind of feature tree to design meanings. Look, there's a derive feature, too! ;0)
"Onshapologists" Thanks for the laugh @martin_kopplow -
