Tech Terms Reporters Hate

What group of professionals other than those in information technology calls its customers "users?" Drug dealers, for one. The Wall Street Journal takes to task those miscreants who pollute the ether with meaningless buzzwords. The paper's bloggers and commenters also hate "end-to-end," "scalable,' "agile," "space," "seamless" and many others — leaving writers with few banalities left to fluff up releases. A few brave souls defend "user," "ping" and "end-to-end" among others when employed in the proper circumstances. Blogs entries and news stories are generating more conversations about this.
