If you could choose Connor, Risa, Lev, or Roland to be unwound, who would you choose? Give 3 reasons why.

This is a morbid question because it asks me to pick which teenager I want killed and chopped up into little pieces.  With that said, I would definitely pick Roland.  That guy has zero redeeming qualities about him.  He is a bully through and through.  He preys on the weak, and uses that fear to rule over other teenagers.  Additionally, Roland isn't scared of selling out his friends and allies, if it secures him something in return.  For example, Roland agrees to fly the Admiral, Connor, and Risa to a hospital in order to save the life of the Admiral.  Roland agrees to do it because he plans on turning in Connor and Risa for the reward money.  Next, Roland barters with the cops in order to secure his own safety and even more money.  Roland tells the cops about the Graveyard and all of its 400 Unwinds.  



Roland looks the Juvey-cop in the eye — no shame, no fear — and boldly presents his offer. "What if I told you I know where there are more than four hundred AWOL Unwinds? What if I helped you take down a whole smuggling operation? What would that be worth?"



I would definitely choose Roland to be unwound.  The world is a safer place without him in it.

Is there a word/phrase for "unperformant"?

As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...

Is 'efficate' a word in English?

I routinely hear the word "efficate" being used. For example, "The most powerful way to efficate a change in the system is to participate." I do not find entries for this word in common English dictionaries, but I do not have an unabridged dictionary. I have checked the OED (I'm not sure if it is considered unabridged), and it has no entry for "efficate". It does have an entry for "efficiate", which is used in the same way. Wordnik has an entry for "efficate" with over 1800 hits, thus providing some evidence for the frequency of use. I personally like the word and find the meaning very clear and obvious when others use it. If it's not currently an "officially documented" word, perhaps its continued use will result in it being better documented.
