English = E = ENQ

enhancement n.

Common marketroid-speak for a bug fix. This abuse of language is a popular and time-tested way to turn incompetence into increased revenue. A hacker being ironic would instead call the fix a feature -- or perhaps save some effort by declaring the bug itself to be a feature.

--The Jargon File version 4.3.1, ed. ESR, autonoded by rescdsk.
