My last gig was as a software trainer in a Marketing Department at
Microsoft. You can't beat people in Marketing for making up words. I tried
really hard to forget most of them, but the one I can't seem to shake is
"incentivize" as in "We're going to incentivize the customer by giving them
a 50% cost reduction on their monthly license."
