  2. Just a side note: American Heritage recognizes (vur’ bij) as an acceptable pronunciation of verbiage.

  4. Oh c’mon, I challenge anyone to find any other instance where “fundamentals” was used to refer to workers/workforce.
    It’s pretty common to talk about the “fundamentals of the economy,” and it’s never a reference to the people turning the wheels or sweeping the floors.
    These people are shameless. They have NOTHING to run on so all they can do is slander, spin, and lie.
