I got semantically pissed last night. It turn out that I for years used one popular in my vocabulary phrase that have absolutely NOT the connotation that I intended.
You might read all over my site my comments about the “objectionable demands”, “objectionable tasks”, “objectionable playback” and so on.

In my mind the word objectionable did not derive from the word “to object” or “state an objection” but from the word “objectives”. So, regardless what it really means but when I was taking about the “objectionable playback installations” I mean the “installations made with a lot of well defined objectives”. I think English speaking people need to come up with a good adjective to express what I meant to say. Sometimes I used the phrase “loaded playback” that is similar and less confusing but I still would like to have a term that would indicate a saturation of objectives. So, objectives + able, in my mine it would make objectable or objectionable… therefore I would like to redefine the definition of this word within my site.
