Hi, all:
I usually say this in a deadpan snarky way but I mean this without any snark
and with genuine gratitude: Thank you for your input. The degree to which
this stupid project is eating my lunch is embarrassing.
I will keep the glossary in general, remove the terms that are never
mentioned in the text in the first place (goodbye, USB), and add some
product-related context to establish relevance of the general terms that
remain.
Thank you for your help!
