	Actually, that isn't true everywhere in the computer world. In the Lisp 
and Smalltalk communities, for example, people have understood 
"environment" correctly (and in the way you're using "ambience") for a 
very long time. The meaning is very much like that evoked by 
"environmentalists" when describing the natural world.

	And you probably want to say "probably" or "actually" instead of 
"provably". :)

	Sure thing. :)
