When I read what you said about “utilize,” I cried.

At last… someone who UNDERSTANDS!

In a sick way I'm kind of happy that the problem exists in other languages, too... :P Oddly, I don't typically get upset about Anglicized words. There are enough problems with people butchering English with English, I guess, that I just let those go as colorful. I've got a couple more "technical writer" posts in the queue, so you might want to watch for them. Hey, Arjan… nice to see you.

Great post! I really hate it when I see words that could have easily been replaced by a far simpler word. Among those words are a lot of words directly used from English to Dutch..and 'Dutchified' ..just horrible. It's always good to bear the technical writer stuff in mind because it's partly my job to write decent texts (that is..when I'm done studying). <abbr><em><em>Arjans latest blog post..<a href="http://dutchnid.blogspot.com/2008/12/shadow-of-myself.html" rel="nofollow">A shadow of myself</a></em></abbr></em> found this post via your 3-years lookback..via Lee’s blog.
