Tell it to Shakespeare.Our territory director said something along the lines of 'so there's a method to your madness' talking to me a while back. Holy gees what a horrible turn of phrase.

But why "pace"? There is nothing wrong with using it to describe a movie or tv show.Phrases/terms that need to be retired immediately
The optics are good on this one.But why "pace"? There is nothing wrong with using it to describe a movie or tv show.
That TV show or movie is, like, totally pace, man.Pace when referring to any tv show or movie.
Great Busta Rhymes album, though.In movies: "extinction-level event".

I use this all the time. but not as described.'dimension' as a verb.
"can you dimension that for me?"
meant as, "can you break that down/unpack that for me?"
That's a horrible use of that word, but for what it's worth in BI/Data that term is definitely a noun.'dimension' as a verb.
"can you dimension that for me?"
meant as, "can you break that down/unpack that for me?"
used/heard it as a verb my entire professional life.That's a horrible use of that word, but for what it's worth in BI/Data that term is definitely a noun.

This has now found its way into education as in "let's unpack these state standards".unpack
Well it's descriptive vs. prescriptive grammar.This has now found its way into education as in "let's unpack these state standards".
This is a typical state standard: "Students will be able to understand the causes and consequences of the War of 1812"
So now we have to fill out a form that "unpacks" what the standard is really asking for. Of course the hidden meaning behind "Students will be able to understand the causes and consequences of the War of 1812" is ""Students will be able to understand the causes and consequences of the War of 1812".
The form we fill out has 6 different steps. The 6th step asks us to explain how we know the student successfully mastered the standard.
So "students will be able to understand the causes and consequences of the War of 1812" can be broken down into "students will be able to understand 3 causes of the War of 1812 and 3 consequences of the War of 1812".
Paradigms are shifting, my friends.
It's busywork and double talk.Well it's descriptive vs. prescriptive grammar.
