Why do people use the word "submittal" to denote "a thing that is being submitted?" [I run across the term "submittal" in my work when I see discussions of applications, permits, supporting material and related stuff that organizations are supposed to hand to one another to get approval for things.] "Submission" is a perfectly fine noun for these things.<\/p>\n
"Submittal" is a redundant and stupid word.<\/p>\n
SUBMIT!<\/span> SUBMIT<\/span> SUBMIT<\/span> <\/span>S<\/span>UBMIT!<\/span><\/p>\n Incidentally, in my job search, I came across a SUBMIT button for some online application labeled SUBMIT TO WEB SITE or something similar. I felt threatened.<\/p>\n I really like the word "submit." It comes from the Latin, "sub-," meaning "under" and the Latin "mit," meaning "to send." So basically it means "to send under," which is a fascinating literal and figurative connotation for submitting documents or submitting to another person. When I think of this word, I think of submarines diving below the surface, letters sliding under doors and people sinking slowly into genuflection.<\/p>\n I may also be biased toward the word because my greatX8-grandmother was named Submit Allen.<\/p>\n One of my dolls is named Submit. ^_^ <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Why do people use the word "submittal" to denote "a thing that is being submitted?"
