I almost died laughing when I read Judith Weiss' post on the Paradigm
Shift Utility. I had just written my diatribe about jargon and the
careful use of words, and the next message I read was hers, full of the
stuff I was caterwauling about and incredibly funny. It sure put my
little tempest about the word "tasked" into perspective.
Thank you, Judith, I needed that.
