This would amuse only me

All of the communications we create at work that are going to be shared with the general public have to go through a review process to make sure we're not saying anything we're not supposed to.  I just received a document back from the review and our legal reviewer went through and removed all the references to "partnerships."  It made me think of that over-bearing boyfriend (or girlfriend) who refuses to put a label on a relationship.

  "We're not dating, we're just seeing each other."

  "We're not partners, we're just in a strategic alliance."

I guess I get it, but yeesh.
