Pronunciation: i ng k jedˌī

Sentence: Lewis didn't didn't care that he was burning through reams of paper for he was an InkJedi. He was saving the company e-files from the dark force that causes documents to go stale if they sit too long on the server. Forget that most of this stuff should have deleted soon after it was created, Lewis kept himself busy lining his squirrel's nest of an office with papers he could never find if he had to. It made him feel at one with the Force even if it kept him from getting any real work done.

Etymology: ink-jet (a printer in which the characters are formed by minute jets of ink) Jedi (a member of the mystical knightly order in the Star Wars films, trained to guard peace and justice in the the universe)

Pronunciation: ream-DUN-dant

Sentence: Tom asked Carol to print out his email, fax copies to the field office and make reamdundant copies of the faxed copy for the office files. Carol considered Tom's faxation to be just a small sample of his neurotronic diskorder. faxation = a complete misunderstanding of how faxes work (believing that the original is somehow magically sent to the other location). neurotronic diskorder = ascribing physical properties and attributes to digital files (degrading condition, "originals", organization, etc.)

Etymology: ream (a measure of quantity for paper[500 sheets]) + (re)dundant; fax + (fix)ation; neuro(tic )+ (elect)tronic; disk + (dis)order
