A
friend of mine researched and wrote a history of the word
nerd. Near the bottom he discusses the difference between geek and nerd. He prefers nerd. I tend to prefer geek - and have a t-shirt with the word boldly displayed in large white letters on a black background. I just like the sound of geek better. I'm not sure there is a real difference in meaning. If you've been following my comments you will see that others disagree. I thought the topic deserved it's own note though. Feel free to weigh in on this troubling issue.
