Welcome to Merauderweb

My new least favorite buzzword

..is "enablement". The word was recently used in an email from IBM, titled "Workplace Services Express, Business Partner Enablement - 22 April 2005". Dictionary.com defines the word as:

\En*a"ble*ment\, n. The act of enabling, or the state of being enabled; ability. --Bacon.

Applying this to the email, I'm not sure that IBM are using that word correctly. Surely the info contained in the seminar would be helpful to Business Partners, but it's hardly going to toggle whether you are or aren't a business partner simply by attending. What the hell is with the IT world and it's need for constant obfuscation?
