Term's Coining and Purpose

In 2002, Blackbirds of Pavilion Hall coined the term "median" as a replacement.  With the disappearance of Vicki's site and Astraea's preference for "median" in their glossary (n.d.), "median" eventually replaced "midcontinuum" and eventually ended up as fluid as the term it replaced.
