Dear Jim1:

"Impactful" is not a word.  Please do not do such rotten shit to the Queen's English.  Her grandson just got married yesterday, and I think we should show a little more respect.

Thanks for your consideration in this matter.

You should read this guy's weekly report to Houston.  He never uses a word where a paragraph will do.

"The fixed increas in costs could have a strong impact on our profit forecasts."  Theree, fixed.  Even sounds a bit better. An impact? Okay, not too bad.  A STRONG imapct? OH NOEZ!
