    Usage notes

    * There are significantly more meanings of the word within the United States hacker - Merriam Webster Online (American English) than in other English speaking nations. * The use of the word (term) to indicate a person who displays skill, particularly with computers, may be misunderstood hack; hacker - Concise Oxford English Dictionary, Oxford University Press (British English) as implying the narrow meaning of unauthorised intrusion into electronic systems (also known as a (cracker) or occasionally (black hat)). This serious misunderstanding in the field of computer expertise is perhaps particularly common outside the United States. * Some computer enthusiasts object to the use of (term) for a person who breaks into computer systems, preferring (cracker) for this sense.
