jargon
What about altimeter pronounced the american way....."al-tim-meter" instead of the correct English "alt-ti-metre"...that really grips me....in fact, it grips me so much that I am not sure as to whether I have the right spelling.
Other jargon which pisssses me off
"robust" - the senior officers way of preventing any further argument.
"granularity" meaning detail- I think this is a new PJHQ craze
"austere" which clearly means doing things on the cheap and thus one step closer to the coveted OBE
"overarching and underpinning" whatever they mean
Bah!
