Incenting The User To Put Up A Profile Picture

incenting is a word? i always thought it was incentivizing. in any case, both are ugly words.

It's not really a word, but it basically is. Just like irregardless.

Language moves on, no matter how much it annoys us.

It's a perfectly normal word, if you talk like this:

"Once you incent knowledge workers to leverage their core competencies, you empower them to impact the bottom line."

Maybe it's a pun. Pissing users off with their profile pic to make them want to change it.

Given that the more established alternative is incentivize, which is at least 50% more awful, I welcome this newly abbreviated word.

There aren't very many Republicans that still like Bush and Cheney...

I like Mr. Bean...and Herman was okay in the Cheech and Chong movie, at least. I think they should use Emperor Palpatine...oh, wait, they're using Cheney? Nevermind.

But I would like the monkey!

A site I was on a while back used pictures of baboons. From behind.

Someone may still like a monkey, but no one would like Cheney.

Thus the incentive to change it. I like it!
