That is so particular an actuary would have trouble following it. But thanks.

Nah... 'Runners are probably playing games about average joes that work 9-5 in an office and spend their free time reading comics and watching sci-fi. You know... Chez Geek

I think you might be missing some lingos on that list. I could be wrong, but I didn't see several of them.

Quote
legalese (the language of lawyers and therefore of the business and political worlds),
’l33tspeak (the code-talk of hackers),
wiz (the jargon of the magically active),
techie (the lingo of research scientists and people who never leave the lab),
orbital (the banter developed by off-Earth colonies).

Why, thats canonical! Its in the Core Rules book, the last fluff text: There is a Shadowrun MMORPG made by FanPro Ltd. :D
The same fluff text also mentions a virtual pet looking like Teclador. Very stylish, I must say, a nod by Catalyst to the precedessor company, heh.
