The words I meant to compare are actually "Use" and "utilize" and you
can tack on utilization.

"Use" can always be use in place of utilize and utilization.


That makes more sense. Now I am in a lot more agreement with you. I think
a lot of times words like that are used (utilized...) to make the "speaker"
sound more sophisticated - or at least that is the attempt. More... formal.
Or something like that. I agree - when there is no real need - there is no
real need. Perhaps we could dialog about this further...



Mike you now understand what I was trying to say.. My fault for the
confusion. You have hit the nail on the head with what I was thinking.
I find the over dramatization of many words being tested by the green
and up and coming news journalists. I think treacherous has been totally
used up.
