No you can't Chris. You are not the audience. And, you cannot do an SMEs job
better than they can. If you were willing to do this where I work, you
should be packing up your desk, because I would fire you and you know better
attitude!

Subject: Re: "parallelize"
What I am saying is that I cannot imagine a clear use of the word
"parallelize". Even if there is a correct usage, I am willing to bet
that if you quote me the passage, I can rewrite it to sound better, and
convey a more clear meaning than the original using the verb
"parallelize". I am willing to make this assertion without knowing the
context, based entirely on my experience with composition in English.
But please, I invite the original poster to prove me wrong... : )
