RE: "Gage"

["Downing, David" <DavidDowning -at- users -dot- com>]

There's one that really get me at my work. We make financial software
and they've got me doing loan-related documents, and I cringe every time
I hear about "decisioning" a loan. In fact, I haven't been able to bring
myself to write that one.

Yea, well, messaging is another abomination, but it seems the 
marketing people hold sway.
