That's nothing to apologize for. Most of us grow up speaking one language, or maybe two; after that, to learn other languages is hard work. > I tried searching for some better alternatives, > but I couldn't find anything that sounds like a good replacement for > it. Even dictionaries use examples such as: "Silicon Valley's > entrepreneurial ecosystem". The term "ecosystem" -- and the amoral approach associated with it -- are widespread in the computing field. Using that term encourages that amoral approach. In the free software movement that we have a different approach: free software is just and nonfree software is unjust. So we don't want to find another word to use instead for the same meaning. The meaning is what we want to shun. I suggest you watch fsf.org/tedx as an introduction to the free software movement. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
