Sorry, stparker38. I figured you weren't a native English speaker, so I was trying to help you out. I'll show you what I was addressing:

Root comes from it being the beginning directory of an operating system.

This is wrong. See the definition above.

To root a phone means to change the program and how is appropriates itself, also know less lazily as reprogramming.

This is wrong. Root is a more specific term referring to gaining root access on the phone. Reprogramming is less specific, and could mean anything. It's not lazy to be more specific in your meaning.

Hope this helps!
