"variabalize" isn't a word

... and neither is vector ... not in the way you want to use it, that is.

please don't say "diversity" or "delivery" again. i fear you will.

with that said, i think we, as a race, should limit our use of the word "item." if you're going to the grocery store to pick up some things or grab some stuff for dinner, just say that you're going to the grocery store for some things or to grab some stuff for dinner. better yet, you could say, "i'm going to the store," on your way out. "i'm stopping at the grocery store to pick up some items for the week," is unacceptable.

if you want to talk to me about something, i would prefer it if you called me, found me, or emailed me with, "i want to talk to you about something." please refrain from saying, "can we pull up to discuss a few items?" and while you're at it, please don't ask me to "pull up" either. this isn't a car wash, a gym, or a drive-thru.

"bandwidth" has to do with frequencies, wavelengths, or energies. i may have the time and the skill to pull up with you about that item, but i'm all out of energy.
