Platoon,
As Gruppenfuhrerrr I mussst take exception to the "quoting out" of the
word gobbledygook.
This personal favorite of mine among all English words is a perfectly
valid member of the club, as any decent dictionary will prove
[

against.

PS: Gobbledygook. I like saying that. Gobbledygook. :-)
PPS: Actually, WordNet's entry is incomplete. From my work in (English
language) IT telephone support, I recall that most contemporary Irish
and UK business world PC users understand gobbledygook to mean "a bunch
of garbled, seemingly random characters". (Which is what Giuseppe was
referring to. But most of yers knew that anyway.)
