Euphemisms.

All right, I get incensed about silly things. But what the fuck, really: am I stupid, or is "form factor" a snotty, high-tech way to say "shape"?

  1. It is. But you're also stupid.

  2. Hooray, comments!

    I was once corresponding with someone at Microsoft about fonts, and he used the phrase "leverage the functionality of".

    In my reply, I quoted that and wrote, "I don't mean to be dense, but is that the same thing as 'use'"?

    I got a very curt "YES." (and no response to anything else I had written) and that was the last I heard from him.
