Replying to Paradigm Shift Utility LO5093

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.

We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be
to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.
