``Re: f(1)=1 dangerous'' by mclase on 2003-11-21 10:31:08
It is also contrary to the usage of practising mathematicians. I've never read a serious book or paper which uses the term "rng".

If you get learners used to the idea that they can distinguish rings with and without identity using the terms ring and rng, they will be sorely disappointed when they start to look at the literature.
