Jun 23, 04:01 pm: You can't say "nest" and you can't say "egg"

Can we all just agree to stop using the word “craft?” We can use it if we’re talking about functional objects and the process that creates them. You know, like pottery or weaving or glass blowing.

But if we’re talking about an email, talking points, collateral or a grant proposal, can we please, please not say “craft?”

  1. I dunno, that will be a hard one. Probably not as hard as my crusade against the liberal use of the word “solution,” but pretty hard.

    I, for one, will try my best to comply.

  2. John,

    Your efforts will not be forgotten. May they not be in vain.
