1. Collectively, the people of England; English people or

Note: The English language has been variously divided into
periods by different writers. In the division most
commonly recognized, the first period dates from about
450 to 1150. This is the period of full inflection, and
is called Anglo-Saxon, or, by many recent writers, Old
English. The second period dates from about 1150 to
1550 (or, if four periods be recognized, from about
1150 to 1350), and is called Early English, Middle
English, or more commonly (as in the usage of this
book), Old English. During this period most of the
inflections were dropped, and there was a great
addition of French words to the language. The third
period extends from about 1350 to 1550, and is Middle
English. During this period orthography became
comparatively fixed. The last period, from about 1550,
is called Modern English.
[1913 Webster]
3. A kind of printing type, in size between Pica and Great
Primer. See Type.

English \Eng"lish\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Englished; p. pr. &
vb. n. Englishing.]
1. To translate into the English language; to Anglicize;

to give it in addition to its forward motion a spinning
motion, that influences its direction after impact on

5. The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) |
English
1. n. obs. The source code for a program, which may be in any language, as
opposed to the linkable or executable binary produced from it by a
compiler. The idea behind the term is that to a real hacker, a program
written in his favorite programming language is at least as readable as
English. Usage: mostly by old-time hackers, though recognizable in context.
Today the preferred shorthand is simply source.
2. The official name of the database language used by the old Pick
Operating System, actually a sort of crufty, brain-damaged SQL with
delusions of grandeur. The name permitted marketroids to say ?Yes, and
you can program our computers in English!? to ignorant suits without
quite running afoul of the truth-in-advertising laws.
