I received an email from a vendor we work with stating “satisfied, referenceable customers” would be their goal for 2012, after my first year.

I was communicating this to a colleague, and got the familiar squiggly-misspelled-word line in my typed message, and deleted this message. If my right mouse click failed, I visited the Internet and searched. No success. I could not find any source of information. While it would appear that the word is accepted in the business community for its implied meaning, there has not been an official declaration from any familiarly known resource that it is in fact a legitimate word.

But language adapts. Shakespeare made up words that are now commonly used. What are pop culture references? If you don’t believe me, you can

google it.
