English language succumbs to Symbiotic Ephemeralization

This is the worst case usage of buzzwords I've ever encountered.
Horrendous!

Buzzwords @ IBM

Fortune's Jon Fortt translates IBM CEO's announcement, much to my amusement.

Don't Get too Excited About IBM

What, then, to make of the IBM pre-announcement? CEO Sam Palmisano gave some
interesting spin:

"The broad scope of IBM's global business - led by strong operational
performance in Asia, Europe and emerging countries - drove these outstanding
results," he said in a statement. "IBM is well-positioned as we begin 2008
as a result of our global business reach, solid recurring revenue stream and
strong financial position. We are on track to achieve our long-term
earnings-per-share roadmap objective in 2010."

A translation, for those who don't speak CEO:

"U.S. corporate buyers don't look so hot, but thanks to a weak dollar and
overseas customers, we're making the best of it. Since no one expects the
dollar to perk up soon, that overseas income should keep us looking good in
2008. Don't forget, we have a huge services business, so customers pay us to
fix their old stuff even if they don't buy new stuff! And we have $16
billion in the bank! So don't panic. Look! Profits!"

Prepositions

I looked up the word "preposition." I had been thinking of the rule that states that a sentence should never end with a preposition. I discovered the rule is false. Apparently the rule is true for Latin and was ported over and applied to English erroneously.

I especially like Winston Churchill's quote (in the "usage note" section):

Preposition

prep·o·si·tion [prep-uh-zish-uhn] –noun Grammar.

any member of a class of words found in many languages that are used before nouns, pronouns, or other substantives to form phrases functioning as modifiers of verbs, nouns, or adjectives, and that typically express a spatial, temporal, or other relationship, as in, on, by, to, since.

Usage Note: Usage Note: It was John Dryden who first promulgated the doctrine that a preposition may not be used at the end of a sentence, probably on the basis of a specious analogy to Latin. Grammarians in the 18th century refined the doctrine, and the rule has since become one of the most venerated maxims of schoolroom grammar. But sentences ending with prepositions can be found in the works of most of the great writers since the Renaissance. English syntax does allow for final placement of the preposition, as in We have much to be thankful for or I asked her which course she had signed up for. Efforts to rewrite such sentences to place the preposition elsewhere can have stilted and even comical results, as Winston Churchill demonstrated when he objected to the doctrine by saying "This is the sort of English up with which I cannot put." Sometimes sentences that end with adverbs, such as I don't know where she will end up or It's the most curious book I've ever run across, mistakenly thought to end in prepositions. One can tell that up and across are adverbs here, not prepositions, by the ungrammaticality of I don't know up where she will end and It's the most curious book across which I have ever run. It has never been suggested that it is incorrect to end a sentence with an adverb.
