I get incensed when I see incenting used this way.
- mechanical_fish 19y agoGiven that the more established alternative is incentivize, which is at least 50% more awful, I welcome this newly abbreviated word.
- vixen99 19y agoYou mean it could be as much as 60% more awful?
- kul 19y agoincenting is a word? i always thought it was incentivizing. in any case, both are ugly words.
- jamesbritt 19y agoI guess "motivating" would be too obvious.
- aston 19y agoIt's not really a word, but it basically is. Just like irregardless. Language moves on, no matter how much it annoys us.
- zach 19y agoIt's a perfectly normal word, if you talk like this: "Once you incent knowledge workers to leverage their core competencies, you empower them to impact the bottom line."
- ivankirigin 19y agoMaybe it's a pun. Pissing users off with their profile pic to make them want to change it.
