Translation: I don't understand what words are and how one determines if something is a word or not.

I counter with.. UNDERSTAND ISN'T A WORD! WORD ISN'T A WORD!

I know you can find a definition, and I bloogachoka it. It still isn't a flortch.


I have a linguistics degree. I have forgotten more about words than you will ever know.

My point was that it is a clumsy word that sounds incorrect and should not be used, just like all of the corporate-speak invented words that have become popular.



I cc'd my actionable deliverables in the blogosphere for maximum ROI, but there were too many loony toons fake posters with no balls on steak.

i think at least a thousand words get created each day in the career field of information technology.

I am by no means a prescriptivist. Some words just jar a little. Anyway, i didnt mean to derail the thread.
Carry on.
