I worked with an IBM consultant once who gave me a project file to read
that talked about how IBM would "solution" the problem. I'm serious.
They identified a problem, and then they would "solution it". I still
cringe.

>I used to have problems too. Now I only have "issues".

And nevermind whether it's a "problem" or an "issue," I bet there are a
hundred companies out there willing to offer a "solution." The company
I work for no longer provides software or services. Oh no, only
"solutions." Argggg.

When we make changes to the softw...er, I mean solution, it is "QAed,"
which is a lot like being "tested."

One more thing that drives me batty is to be called a "resource."
