Remember "persist the data "?

[Nancy Allison <maker -at- verizon -dot- net>]

I finally got into the document in enough depth to be able to question the engineer about the use of "persist the data . . ."

While I recognize that this use of "persist" can express a legitimate concept, it turns out that "store" will do quite as well in our particular sentence: "The application server uses business logic to parse the data and persist it to/store it in the database."

To keep my own hair from catching fire whenever I glance at that sentence, I am changing it to "store it in," with the developer's blessing.

Cheerful now!
