What on Earth does "I architected" have over "I designed"?! Apart from two syllables and a lot of ugliness, that is?

Language does indeed evolve... but that's no excuse for its *abuse*!

Yup, I agree with you on "to administrate", too. It's completely stupid. Nothing that "to administer" couldn't do in less syllables and typing.

Chewy biscuits, indeed.
