> When I am confused by all the ways that "object" is abused,
> I turn from the Latin and return to the Greek, weighing the

>    Object, Objective, Purpose, Concern,
>    Objection, Obstacle, Obstruction, Too,
>    Trouble, Treatise, and a Thing or Two,
>    What's Done, What's Doing, What's To Do,
>    Act & Affair, Deed & Fact, Matter & Work,
>    Business, Career, Duty, Expedience, Opus,
>    Circumstantial Consequential Contingency,
>    Annoyance, Engagement, Irritation, Peril,
>    Powers That Be, Government, Undertaking,
>    This is the meat in our pragmatic stew!

> OK, so I spiced it up, just a pinch or two,
> But I brewed it and cooked it just for you,
> As I learned it from Our Chef You-Know-Who!
