michaelchang commented on the word co-founder
I find the context of this word confusing, because in my opinion you are either the founder of something or not. You might have gotten some help or someone might have pointed you in the right direction, but being a 'co-founder'?
It sounds to me like the founder not wanting to share the whole credit for founding something. Is a father a co-founder or what? If you want to you could help me out on this word... or perhaps sustain my opinion by more examples.
