Bull (sorry buzzword) bingo reaches a new low.

My fiancee’s a teacher and they have been told they must refer to white boards as "wipe boards" to prevent the negative connotations of racial supremacy that come with the implicit preference for white boards over black boards. My view: White boards are far better than black boards. I will continue to call them that because thay are boards that are white. If you don't like it, go build a bridge (in order for you to get over it)

Somehow, taking a shower with some of the project teams I work with, is a picture I'd rather not see. Not to mention that any ideas generated would probably have nothing to do with the project anyway. :)

she screamed 'NO! You don't have problems, you have challenges'. At which point I almost lost the will to live. :laugh:

I guess this means paper scraps and such will never be called 'white trash' even though it's mainly white...
I can just hear it now, 'just off down the tip to recycle the honkey trash dear, won't be long!'

And here are a couple of insurmountable challenges.

I worked in a culture where even 'challenges' was considered to have a negative connotation. You didn't have problems, or challenges, you had 'opportunities to learn' :wtf:
Shucks. With all the "opportunities to learn" that I've had to deal with in the last 30 years, you'd think I'd be a lot smarter. :doh: :)

"Learning curve" still makes me cringe. But worse, last week I was watching a video of a guy assembling a model for a model railroad. Every ten ten seconds there was one of: "First we'll go ahead and ..." "Then we'll go ahead and ..." "Next we'll go ahead and ..." "After that we can go ahead and ..." I still don't know why I watched the whole thing. X| "OMIT NEEDLESS WORDS!" -- Strunk

If you use a dry or wet erase pen on it, it's a whiteboard. If you use chalk on it, it's a blackboard (even though most modern ones are green). What's racist about that? Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots.
Imagine that you are hired to build a bridge over a river. The river gets slightly wider every day; sometimes it shrinks but nobody can predict when. Your contract says you can't use concrete or steel - the client only provides timber and cut stone (but won't tell you what kind). Gravity changes from hour to hour, as does the viscosity of air. Your only tools are a hacksaw, a chainsaw, a rubber mallet, and a length of rope. Welcome to my world. -Me explaining my job to an engineer
