What I'd like to know is this: what is the difference between a problem and an issue? I once heard someone say that her dog had "territory issues". Dogs don't have issues. Dogs have territory, and they don't like trespassers. This is not an issue - is it? I'd also like to know the difference between "use" and "utilize" - I don't mean the dictionary definition. When someone says "we'll utilize our resources", is that different from "we'll use our resources"? When I challenged someone on that, he said that "utilize" meant to use more completely. I suggested that being made love to once was being "used", and being made love to six times was being "utilized", and he didn't get it. Wasn't amused, either.
