1. I dislike how "ASAP" no longer means what it means. Or at least, it seems that way. I regularly edit my emails to remove usage of "ASAP" because it seems to indicate "do this right the fuck now," not "as soon as you can, I understand that you may be busy."

2. My new CEO mispronounces the folllowing words:

• nuclear (Nuke-yalur)
• COBOL (cobalt)
• ManuLife (Manual-Life)
• Acura (a-CURE-ah)

3. That is all.

Two questions:

1. In what context is your CEO required to use the word "nuclear". Nexient isn't planning any "hostile" takeovers of "small, well armed countries"...is it?

2. Isn't that how you pronounce Acura? Oh, never mind, I think I see how she's pronouncing it now. Hard "a"?

1. She was giving a speech to an association of women in the nuclear industry yesterday.

2. I should have typed a-CURE-ah.
