Etymological Musings

[GWhizNonKid]

I can remember when the local Public TV channel called themselves "educational television." When they found out what a downer that was for adults and kids alike, the name changed to Public TV to avoid the stigma of being "eeeeeuuuuwwww" educational.

I just recently proposed a change in terminology for my team. Instead of teamwork, were going to call it teamFUN and endeavor to define the new term by accenting the activities that make a cooperative and creative session.

I'm sure you've all run into that pseudo-acronym TEAM = Together Everyone Achieves More. I have added this one: ASK = Alternate Source (of) Knowledge. Example of usage: Have you ASK'd anyone about that yet?
