Momentarily is widely used in speech to mean 'in a moment,' as in The manager is on another line, but she'll be with you momentarily. This usage rarely leads to ambiguity since the intended sense can usually be determined on the basis of the tense of the verb and the context. Nonetheless, many critics hold that the adverb should be reserved for the senses 'for a moment,' and the extended usage is unacceptable to 59 percent of the Usage Panel.

Speaking at the FTTH Conference



I will be speaking at the Fiber to the Home Conference in Nashville, TN next Monday. Last year was Vegas, this year it's the Opryland Hotel. Moving on up.

The topic of my presentation is "Next Generation PON: What is Beyond GPON?". It promises to be a thrill-a-minute ride combining pyrotechnics ripped from a Michael Bay production, heartwarming characters straight from the mind of Tyler Perry, and a stunning twist a la M. Night Shyamalan.

Seriously, though, the presentation should be quite good (in my humble opinion) with some very useful information compiled into an engaging format (no longer humble, but still an opinion). And, the last time I checked, there are about 8 other competing events at the show in the same time frame. So please come by.

If it's only the two of us, I'll spring for doughnuts.
