Well, your "LORD" was certainly bigger than Rayo. Not by much, but it was. So you got that part right :-)

And I think that the "beginner's section" shouldn't bother with any technical terms at all. It should simply aim at dispelling common misunderstandings.

There's actually a "Googology 101" article that Sbiis Saibian wrote a while ago, which attempts to cover these grounds. Among other things, he explains common newbie mistakes and why they are - indeed - mistakes.

His article isn't without problems, but it's a good place to start for those who are completely confused by what the bleep we're doing here:

BTW the quickest way to learn here is to simply ask questions. You'll find that most of the veterans here are more than happy to answer any queries you may have. There's nothing more joyful then teaching a newbie the secrets of the craft :-)
