+As I may have said before, Apple do it right, they do not say the word
+newbie or beginner at all, see their website.
+
+So someone reading Apple marketing material will think of simplicity, or
+a system that doesnt get in the way, but it doesn't think &quot;that's great
+for people that know nothing to computer&quot;. Apple prepared a narrative
+explaing the elegance, the power, etc.
+
+The simple evocation of &quot;beginner&quot; will make people think about a
+separation between newbie and experts ( what psychologists call a
+framing effect, see <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnX5v0uwNjc">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnX5v0uwNjc</A> ). If we
+speak of newbie, then people will feel sooner or later the need to find
+their position on this supposed separation, with the problem we
+highlighted.
+
+And so I think we should simply ban the word from our official
+communication.
