RE: "parallelize"

["Locke, David" <dlocke -at- bindview -dot- com>]

In data warehousing parallelizing a partition makes sense. I would leave the
text alone. The whole point behind partitions is to make the data structures
in the partition's related cubes parallel.

I'm sure that parallel computing has like processes. 

This is the second thread related to technical terms today. When a technical
person uses a technical term, don't assume that they are speaking gobbledy
grock, or that they are illiterate, or stupid just because you don't
understand the terms. Get an appropriate reference to terminology in the
field you are working. And, you can always pick up the phone and ask the
SME, since they did your job writing the thing in the first place, what the
hell the word means. Rest assured they know what the words they wrote mean.
Even if you don't. Give them the respect that you want them to show you. 

I'm beginning to see Andrew's point of view. I'm getting angry about the
people that want to fix things without enough information. This is not
directed to the original poster.

I have never in my life changed an SMEs original meaning, although the
language went through a bloodbath that was highly appreciated by my SMEs. It
is not your job to change meaning, so you can get a nice read. Even back in
school when we got one of those here shorten this tests in technologies I
knew nothing about, I shortened the text, and didn't lose an once of the
technical meaning. It took grammatical sensitivity not personal preferences
to do that. It took competence. And, I hated English back in High School.

Be sure to tell your manager that you don't know how to do your job, so you
don't get a raise next year. 

If you don't understand the technology, by all means, go home and write
great literature. Publishers will pay you an advance to live on while you're
at it. Get the hell out of the kitchen. Take your English lit degree and go
do the work you were, I suppose, meant to do.
