Personally, and supersonically, I aim for incredibility with an audience -
which I am sure you will all preappend to your comprehension and mindsets as
being even a stronger, whiter, brighter form of creditability - oh wait a
minute creditability is what most dot.com companies proved they didn't
have....
so therefore the whole dot.com meltdown is due to uncreditability....
god, isn't the universal language, once referred to as English, now known as
Webspeak, wonderful.
as they say on the London Underground: "Mind the gap!"
regards and thanks,

> boss ever decides that jargon is acceptable in technical writing.
If you are writing for a very technical audience, jargon is not only
acceptable, but mandatory. Gives you credibility.
