= M =
mode
mod vt.,n.
[very common] 1. Short for `modify' or
`modification'. Very commonly used -- in fact the full terms
are considered markers that one is being formal. The plural
`mods' is used esp. with reference to bug fixes or minor design
changes in hardware or software, most esp. with respect to
patch sets or a diff. 2. Short for modulo but used
only for its techspeak sense.
