Function

One of my great peeves (and yes I have plenty - maybe this should have been the Mad Geek) is the geekspeak use of the word 'functionality'. Try to find that in a legit dictionary. No not an on-line or other geek crap. I believe Mr. Gates is responsible of much the present use. Yes MS word will pass it in spell check - so what? So will blogger. I guess some think it makes them sound smarter or more 'with it'. How about withitality.

The correct word is function. Period. If you can give me one phrase where you can't just say function instead of functionality please let me know.
