Subject:task reference From:Mary Nurminen <manurmin -at- TRE -dot- TELE -dot- NOKIA -dot- FI> Date:Sun, 4 Jan 1998 13:36:06 +0200
I am boggled by the use of the term 'task reference'. I can't recall ever having
heard it used in 'the real world', but it is used around my work place a lot. I
can't figure out if:
a) it really is a commonly used term, I just never knew about it
b) someone started using it erroneously and everyone else caught on (I'm working
in a country where English is not the native language)
