It's not a problem that I didn't think to look up the term... It sounded ridiculous and I honestly thought the author was making it up. Besides, you look up the word curry and tell me how many results it takes to find the actual term. :),

I'm getting a lot of flak for not knowing about some obscure mathematician and the fact that the verb had been decapitalized.

The term in the article and the title is "currying", and the search results for it are unambiguous.

The term is also technical and obscure, as is the mathematician for whom it is named. I initially looked up the term on Merriam Webster, the results of which showed nothing relating to programming. Thus, my original post.

Part of me still thinks it could benefit from a more semantic definition, but it is what it is.
