Re: -active

Skitt filted:

"Proactive" is a word that I have yet to use, other than when discussing the
word itself.

Ditto...depending upon context, I might use "preemptive", "in anticipation" or
"on spec"...that gives me three shades of meaning where people who say
"proactive" have only one....r
