PMJI, How are you? I haven't read the magazine yet but I'd have to agree with
all of your statements. Just thought I'd chime in and let you know. On
another note, I was reading the latest CGW and got another stabbing jolt when I
read their little blurb on 3DS MAX. Who at the Yost Group or Autodesk is
responsible for putting forth in press releases the word "re-architected"? This
bastardization is annoying to me as a licensed architect to say the least.
Sapphire would love to do a column on this etymological travesty I'm sure. I
have no dictionary in my home that recognizes 'architect' as being a verb let
alone one that can be appended with 're'. So, its soap box time for me. I
don't tell anyone that I spend my day 'architecting' do you? Doesn't that just
rub you the wrong way?
