While we are griping...

We have vehicles, covered with livery (lights, sirens, checkered stripes etc).

They are referred to as "fleets".

As in, grab a couple of "fleets" from the pool for Saturday morning...

Not kidding, one fleet, two fleets. (Drives me crazy.)

If that's not bad enough, this organisation has preserved a somewhat archaic meaning of "duplicitous"...

Around here, duplicitous means doing something twice, with no intention of implying that something is underhanded.

But, I would really, really like an extra column in the glossary, where the user gets to provide an alias for a term.

See how language DEvolves - NOT evolves!  (the perennial excuse of the linguistically lazy).

BTW it's a many to many relationship between an ("Authorised") term and it's related terms including "unauthorised" ones... so a simple alias doesn't really help.
