atw: Re: PeeveWatch: Reticent [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Sorry Bob and Stuart
If you think 'reticent' is hard to comment on - I think we are all still
reeling from Melanie's little gem yesterday - 
"""I'm surprised that's not called Nielsen's law - he has a proclivity
to proclaim in those terms.""""

-proclivity to proclaim???
Awesome
:-)

(no offence Melanie - just waking everyone up!)

Stuart,
seeing that I am the first person to respond all day, I am not reticent,
but I am unsure if everyone else is reticent or reluctant.

Has anyone noticed the word 'reticent' being used where 'reluctant' is
meant? "Jones was reticent to agree to Smith's demand to..."

I don't remember hearing this until recently, but I've heard it a few
times since.

On the PeeveMeter it's overtaking the use of "simplistic" where "simple"
is meant.

Hmph!
