Just used the word "taxonomy" in an RFC I'm writing at work. I'm guessing it spells the end to my hopes of making it "informal"...

"A social purpose corporation (SPC) is a type of for-profit entity, a corporation, in some U.S. states that enables, but does not require, considering social or environmental issues in decision making."

And here I am whining about that still in 2021.
