Subject: Use of the word artefact
As it is Friday I thought I would share this.
I’ve just had a really confusing conversation with someone using the word artefact to mean an objective or deliverable.
They tell me it is commonly used in this way now. It seems more like a mistake someone has made with a thesaurus - i.e. the ‘object’ of this meeting becomes the ‘artefact’ of this meeting.
Has anyone else come across the word artefact being used in this way?
