Everyone's heard it -- a language of buzz phrases that PR people and industry geeks speak. It's a tongue so unspeakable it can turn normal people into human press releases. Now, finally, the cliches of computerdom are getting the dissing they deserve! The Mercury News asked readers which shards of IT jargon annoyed them the most. Drumroll please: "24x7," "leverage," "solution," "shift the paradigm," "grow the business," "outside the box" and "best of breed" all made the "most hated" list. Maybe these terms could go live in exile somewhere and take "functionality," "scalability," and "ramping up" with them!
