Subject: source v.



Shepherd's catalog (which reads like a send-up of New Age restaurantspeak

and yet is just seductive enough that I'm tempted) has "sourced" in several

descriptions, as in



Merelda (a green pole bean)

    "sourced by us" from a seed supplier outside the U.S. The bean

itself was developed for the European/Spanish market.



Somewhere else in the catalog (but I can't find it just now), they say

they were asked to "source" a particular kind of seed.



This sounds odd/new to me. But then, I hadn't heard "go postal" either.
