I suspect that John M. would refer to the temperature increase of food
in the microwave oven as warming rather than heating. Would the Martian
word gamming be acceptable?
Well, I think I'd call it "warming due to heat" as opposed to "warming
due to work." I don't intend "warming" to refer to some "third kind" of
thermodynamic process, it simply means the internal energy has increased
and rethermalized.
