@drbidz Worth noting that ‘ventilating’ in a medical sense is specifically defined as ‘subject to artificial respiration’ so the phrase you note is, at best, an (oxy)moron. Used by those who want a lazy abbreviation (SVIA) or who obfuscate to seem ‘clever’ with jargon. 😡#useplainenglish

PSA: When writing validation error messages do NOT include the regular expression you're testing against. Exactly 0.00314% of the population knows what they actually need to fix to pass it. Plain English is your friend. #useplainenglish

@Virgin_TrainsEC Whenever you guys use the opaque obfuscated standard industry language of “operational incident” I like to imagine what really happened. Today I’m imagining that the guard was caught by the driver having an affair with his wife and a massive fight broke out. #usePlainEnglish
