From a ZDNet story on the lack of IP addresses:
The history of IP is one of practicality and pragmatism mixed with idealism. First mooted in 1974, IP gradually accreted functions and standardisation and by the early 80s was standard in Unix.
"mooted"? Ok, so if you look it up you find that moot means "to bring up for discussion". But really, using it in a ZDNet article?
