Don't say "interpreter" if you don't mean it. In the vast majority of cases, Common Lisp is a compiled language.

It's an interpreted one in the sense that one can continually interact with it during the life time of a program. Many of the popular interpreted languages nowadays do some compilation somewhere (Python, Perl, etc).
