Hate the word Pro- active more than any other buzz word that has infiltrated into the English language over from the pond to us in the UK!! The word it replaces is a much better word, too- Dynamic! Dynamism, Dynamic or Dynamically are all words which sound fantastic plus make more sense than the stupid American buzz word everyone seems to be using these days that fear the word Dynamic will fall out of use because of the stupid word Proactive- which think was invented as by a marketing or business man in the USA. The USA like to reinvent the wheel- it maddens me!! Does anyone else agree? Ciao, Beatrice35

You must like Chris Rea's song," The Road to Hell"?! One of my favourite songs as a matter of fact- not a fan of motorways especially when they are snarled up!
Take care! Miles of smiles, Beatrice :-)
