form and content. Also known as "Deborah is a snob"
So I'm browsing my RSS reader this morning, looking at all my library blogs, when I come across this headline:
Medical Content from Distributed Repositories is Chosen as Most Impactful New Application of Learning Technology Standards for 2006
I admit, I'm having such an experience with the vileness of that sentence that I can't even begin to parse the content. I feel like I should turn this into an insightful post about format and usability and accessibility and how clever content isn't enough if your form doesn't lead people into your content, but really I just want to go off and be sick in a corner about "most impactful".
Oh dear, my dictation software actually has "impactful" in its vocabulary. I weep for our language.
(By the way, I admit I'm a massive hypocrite. I have no problem with all kinds of neologisms: verbing; Buffyisms; Internet vocabulary. But "most impactful" is right up there with "coopetition". I just can't cope.)
