Please forgive me if this is in the wrong place. AWAD has a huge variety of threads.

I have heard for years that the use of "queue" and "quiesce" are improper as applied by OS/390 (mainframe) sysprogs. Having been one, I wish to know if I sent all those hundreds of email and messages in error. The typical usage was "IMS has a huge deadletter queue that will be cleared by a coldstart on Sunday following the bi-weekly IPL." or "The point-in-time (PIT) recovery of your database will require a quiesce point in the system log. If there are open logs for your database spanning all desired PIT recovery timestamps then no quiesce has occurred..." ad nauseum. Alternate spellings and usages include: quiescing, queueing, quiesced, queued. My dear departed mentor Ed Oerter would certainly have had something to say about the use of queue as a verb, but I have seen it frequently.

You should see what the "Check spelling" button did with my computerese...
