    That’s one scary posting title. And I can so identify. When I worked for a dot.com, my supervisor was the head of Marketing. I often felt as if we were speaking different languages.

    Scalability is an important concept, however marketing is full of double-speak. Unfortunately, however, *every* technical field is loaded with evolving language. I found it funny watching a [otherwise unnotable] movie the other day where grandpa was talking about how he souped up his Dodge Charger to his grandson who had a souped up Japanese car and the grandson said, “You’re speaking a dead language grandpa”.

    There are other more sinister word meaning changes I’ve found. What is “paranoia” to a layman is now “delusion” to a psychiatrist see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delusional_disorder
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delusional
    (I checked that in 2 modern psychiatry texts, btw).

    That should be quite useful in flame wars, I’ll bet.. isn’t the evolution of language grand?
