New Terms for the Paperless Office?

A Little Humor for the Tax Season

Okay, just a little humor as professionals start to really dig into the tax
season.

Despite the ongoing movement by tax and accounting practices toward paperless
processes as a part of modern workflow, print some things, of course, is still
occasionally necessary. So, let’s try a couple of new terms when referring
to the occasional paper functions that professionals still must deal with.

Instead of “Printing,” the new term is “Exporting to Tactile
Format.”
Instead of “Scanning,” how about “Importing from Tactile Format.”

Yes, I’m kidding.

And don’t expect to see software companies rushing to change their systems
to incorporate the new terms. But in the jargon-filled world of technology,
sometimes it’s good to have a little fun with that jargon.
