Zdad, the fact remains that Ivrit is not Lashon Kodesh.
While you may have a point that we need words for microchip and megabyte, I’m not sure E Ben Yehuda is the man for the job. In fact I think we have a pretty strong argument he’s not.
Interesting that, of all things, you mentioned the electric light bulb. I’m sure you know the word E B-Y chose for electricity. And I’m sure you know the origin in Torah for that word. And I’m sure you know the controversy that ensued. It’s one of the favorite arguments from those against speaking Ivrit…
