It’s likely that only people who work in IT networking encounter this, but I wish people would stop using the word “sunk” when they mean “synchronized.”  It sounds really ignorant.  I’ll accept “synced,” but are we really that lazy?  Has our desire to avoid burning calories finally breached the walls of the spoken word?

“I’ve got the interfaces sunk.”

Why do people say things like that?  It’s a language abortion.  I don’t even hate all corporate-speak.  Some of it is quite clever and it’s fun to be a part of a secret language that only cube-monkeys understand, but this one sounds like someone taught Cletus how to navigate IOS.
