RE: [Az-Geocaching] Back to Geocaching

Tangented? This may be the start of something. Here's what is said about
"prioritize".

"Usage Note: It can be argued that prioritize serves a useful function in
providing a single word to mean "arrange according to priority," but it is
often regarded as corporate or bureaucratic jargon. Resistance to
prioritize, however, has fallen dramatically in recent decades. In 1976, 97
percent of the Usage Panel rejected its use in the phrase a first attempt to
prioritize the tasks facing the new administration. By 1997, however, 53
percent of the Panel approved the use of prioritize in the sentence
Overwhelmed with work, the lawyer was forced to prioritize his caseload.
This suggests that, like finalize, prioritize is rapidly securing a place in
our everyday vocabulary."

Is "tangented" merely SAR jargon?

Sorry, Offtrail, I guess this is really "offtrack".

Yes, sorry. Your point taken. We all can get as off topic as we like.
