  was asked to do a mindless update on the drivel on one of our company's webpages.

  was specifically asked to 'update the verbiage'

  ver·bi·age [vur-bee-ij]
  –noun
  1. overabundance or superfluity of words, as in writing or speech; wordiness; verbosity.

  i replaced one paragraph with another. the newer paragraph is longer... haha, [sigh]

  You know there is more than one definition for verbiage right?

  Sigh... so close!

  Definition:

  1. excess of words: an excess of words that add little or nothing to the meaning

  2. wording: the style of language in which something is expressed

  as they weren't asking me to update the 'style' i'm still going with the original definition... either way it was not the best word choice. but thanks for playing smartass ;p

  * Cough. *

  I'll find a definition to support my claim as well, haha.

  verbiage
  n 1: overabundance of words
  2: the manner in which something is expressed in words;

  Verbiage is a perfectly fine word choice, the problem is when people use "verbage".

  :D

  • the manner yes, but not the words themselves. DAMN YOU PITTSBURGH!!!– 7341/2

  Though I'd rather be in Wolverine's with the 80 other cast members, I think my services would be better utilized on the Hulk.

  Bub.

  • you could always go for a dip in three mile island... thats a PA landmark eh?– 7341/10

    Until 7th grade I thought it was 7 Mile Island, because of the old SNL Aykroyd Skit.– flavorful2/10

    haha or you could go to 8 mile and either become a white rapper superhero– 7343/10

    ps. nice use of the word 'bub' has hugh jackman ever said it?– 7344/10

    Hrm, I think maybe once. Unless they knew his own movie was coming and held off...– flavorful5/10

    I don't remember if he did.
    
    I was too busy staring at his body...– Jaline6/10

    By the way, I think The Flash should have his own movie. No need to follow Wolverine (!!!) and The Hulk around.– Jaline7/10

    Haha yes. Did you ever see the TV Show from like the early 90's? You were like two... :D

    the only reason i remember it was because of the win cash with the flash promotion... 7/11 maybe?– 7349/10

    I don't remember that. Then again I would have been 7/8 during its release.– flavorful10/10
