Outtakes and various other sundries…

Other organizations feared such word choices could contribute to the financial system’s instability.Each day presents new evidence that finance companies are uniquely vulnerable to a loss of confidence among creditors, trading partners, investors or customers.

yes. disturbingly so. (at least in one instance.) not fun.

I was talking about this with a friend of mine a week or two ago, and yes. I’ve been very carefully choosing my words of late, and I think it’s by far for the better but it’s … well … weird.
