I have just been sent an email offering to teach me how to speak geek. I'm not sure how much geek I would actually like to speak - most of my friends think I'm pretty geeky just by the job I do - but it is sometimes fun foxing people outside the IT industry with the terms we all love so much.

On a serious note, the offer is aimed more at managing directors that have to understand what their IT department is on about before making a decision to invest in a certain technology. After all, if the average director of a non-IT company was asked his views about pod-slurping - the unfortunate employee might find their P45 waiting for them on their desk!
