On: Is Corporate Speak Invading Your IT Department?

Kathy Sierra at Creating Passionate Users has an interesting comment about glib speech.

In way too many meetings, the fastest talkers win. And by "fastest talkers", I mean those who are the first to articulate an idea, challenge, issue, whatever. Too many of us assume that if it sounds smart, it probably is, especially when we aren't given the chance to think about it.

Second only to Nevada (66%) at 40% in growth. Fifth on the list in total numbers for growth from 1990-2000. 2002 Census Data
