Convenience
...as in "convenience fee". Perhaps this isn't so much a pirated word as a doublespeak phrase, but I can't stand gov't bureaucracies such as the IRS that charge a so-called "convenience fee" for handling transactions electronically. Hey, I only handle one 1040 a year, but you handle many millions. I think YOU should be paying ME a convenience fee for not snail-mailing a crumpled, smeared, coffee-stained, handwritten long-form.
