Thanks. That's all I wanted to know. The English language is quite screwy. There's a set of "standard" rules but some words don't follow them or break them.

Any text that makes up a program (that a compiler compiles into an executable form) is called "source code". What I'm asking is why is it called "source code" instead of just "source"? Why is it...
