For some reason, my browser didn't update the URL when clicking on the noun 
non-pronoun version of the word. There is _zero_ mention of compensation in 
the dictionary definition. Yes, one's employment is typically referred to as 
one's job (which is likely why Wikipedia says what it does), but it doesn't 
_have_ to refer to one's employment. Wikipedia is giving an overly narrow 
definition.

I still don't see why any of this is relevant to the discussion at hand. We're 
talking about the state of D and how it's perceived by those outside of the D 
community. It looks to me like you're just trying to be a troll.
