Yup. It's a form of thought control. By encouraging people to use the words you want them to use, you make it harder for them to think in a different way. Other annoying examples: - Managed C++ - Weapons of Mass Destruction - Regime Change - Reinventing - Leverage

I am so tired of the "Solutions" buzz-word! Every company in the world is using it to describe their products. I wouldn't be surprised if McDonalds starts labeling their menus as "Lunch Solutions". I was completely bummed when I saw that MS used it to desribed their projects in VC7.:mad: Does anyone else get bothered by these buzz-words (and their over-usage), or am I alone in this? Dave
