I'm sorry, I hadn't gone back far enough in the thread. Yeah, parbly 'move' would have been a better word.

Please, please, please let's not get into another slagging match over IT terminology. I'm aware that it's terminally flawed from a prescriptivist viewpoint - which rather pleases me, actually - but irregardably I gotta live with it. I'll migrate anything anywhere in IT without so much as a nod to the transitivity or otherwise of migrate in a strictly grammatical sense. If a thing needs architecting, then architect it I will. If an object needs orientating, I'll orientate it with the best of 'em. Life's just too short.

Some years back I was in a meeting with a bunch of IT types, and one of the mentioned that he had to decompose the program. Having heard the joke about Ludvig decomposing music, I quickly figured out what he meant without making a fool out of myself.
Then I said, "I guess that's a pretty rotten job." Not ONE, not ONE of those people got it. And it was at that point that I realized I was really beginning to look forward to retiring.
