The following phrase from the article is IMO suboptimal:

"This works because the execution never actually vectors to the stack itself.".

Even if "vectors" would be a verb that could be used that way (is it?), it feels very awkward to me. A more direct explanation without resorting to symbolisms would be better. Unfortunately I wasn't able to rephrase it in a more succint way :-/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.247.120.15 (talk) 22:22, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
