Us on the Intermz team often, in an admittedly dorky way, catch each other using the phrase “in terms” all the time when we are talking about everyday things.
In fact, we even talk about Intermz in terms of different things, like glasses, x-rays, and ophthalmologists.
We also hear people on the news say it: “In terms of Iraq,” “In terms of the economy,” “In terms of women.”
How often do you use the phrase “in terms?”
We think the reason people use the phrase so much is that all of us are constantly thinking in terms of comparisons to communicate information.
We hope using Intermz becomes as natural a way for you to get information using comparisons as it is to communicate using them.
Over the next couple of days, try noticing how often people say “in terms,” as we get ready for September 15 beta launch.
You might be surprised.

Ever since meeting Ted and learning about Intermz. I am more conscious when I put something in terms of something else.
It makes conversations more memorable.
One example I use is with the Iphone. Someone might say what is “jailbreaking”
I respond, “You know when you see stickers on electronic equipment that says warranty void if removed. Jailbreaking is the same as removing those stickers.” Now I didn’t use in terms in that example but I was trying to draw a parallel between a known event and an unknown event.
