Do SI's new biz/techie chaps in London speak XML and RSS fluently?

Probably. You'd be surprised at how little interaction happens, actually. They're very much into non-interference.

Or / And / Or do they say things like:
* iterate open-source web-readiness
* incentivize dynamic e-services
* deploy scalable e-partnerships
* marginalize recti-linear legacy architecturalisms


No, but they do have this really bad habit of using more vowels than are needed, and I'm trying to break them of it. Mostly vowels, sometimes consonants. "doughnuts" is particularly maddening.

And I'm still trying to get through to them that chips are fries, crisps are chips, biscuits are cookies, and baps are rolls or buns. And that what they call bacon isn't really bacon at all.

Although I have to admit that their chips (fried in animal fat) are far better than our fries (fried in vegetable oil).
