There's an Alanis Morrisette Lyric In Here Somewhere
I wonder if the marketing wonks responsible for Windows 2003's Rights Management Services understood the other common usage of the "RMS" acronym.
Of course, being a big geek, phrases like "RMS will require Windows Server 2003" now make me chuckle to myself.
Isn't it ironic . . . don't you think?
P.S. Yes, I recognize that the use above and Alanis' use of "ironic" runs counter to the opinion of 78% of the Usage Panel, but everyone loves a nice pop culture reference in the headline, right?
P.P.S. By god, don't you just want to be a member of the Usage Panel?!? What a crew to have heady grammar discussions with . . .
Update 09/11/03: Of course it would have made my ebullience seem more honest if I'd spelled the word "grammar" correctly when I posted this. D'oh!
Update 09/12/03: And if I had actually remembered to put the URL in the second link. D'oh, d'oh!
