I still think that rejection has happened and will happen in the future. Rejection is when an AM or the DAM decides that a person does not belong. It should be called one. However, when someone simply does not finish going through the application process, we should call that a canceled application or a deactivated or inactive application. It makes a big difference to folks who simply get busy or move on to other things and don't like to see "REJECTING John Doe" every time someone googles their name. I might have less sympathy with their position if we actually meant what any potentially employer, etc., that reads those notices thinks it does. Can this be changed?
