sorry, in my world, programming language refers to a compiled language, scripting language refers to a interpreted language. Call me wrong or what ever you want, but that's how i view it. Although you are correct.

Didn't DaWei recently make a post warning to be careful of providing incorrect information?

A programming language is, surprisingly enough, a language you program in. What method is used to execute the resulting code is irrelevant. C is a programming language, but so is Perl or Python. Scheme's a programming language can be compiled, or interpreted, depending on what software you use. The term "programming language" encompasses both scripting and compiled languages.
There's no need to be rude about it man.
