From Webster's New Twentieth Century Unabridged, 2nd Edition:

"prejudice

1. a judgement or opinion formed before the facts are known; preconceived
   idea

2. a judgement or opinion held in disregard of facts that contradict it"

I wrote exclusively in C on UNIX boxes for 7 years. I've taught classes in
C. I've done consulting work with a very large telecommunications company
in C and C++. I've stared the code for the UNIX kernel square in the face.

In short: I have sufficient experience with the C programming language to
form judgements and opinions regarding it that are NOT formed before the
facts are known, are NOT preconceived ideas, and are NOT held in disregard
of facts that contradict them. In sum: I'm not prejudiced, I'm EXPERIENCED.

English: learn it or regret it.

P.S. Contrast my experience with C and the judgements/opinions formed thereby
     with Ted "I Live In The Real World" Holden's total lack of experience
     with Ada and the judgements/opinions formed thereby. The former is an
     example of experience. The latter is an example of prejudice. One should
     try whenever possible to emulate the former, not the latter.
