Subject:RE: "Persist" as a transitive verb? <gack!> From:"Cindy K. Kight" <Cindy -dot- Kight -at- Marconi -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Fri, 11 May 2001 11:04:52 -0700
<Has anyone run into cases of "persist" being used as a transitive verb?
<The context is a white paper, written by a software engineer, for a
technical audience. The phrase is referring to information that "must be
persisted." <Ack! Ptoie!>
Maybe information could be kept, stored, maintained, retained, or preserved.
Good luck!
