schedule ::
- a plan of procedure, usually written, for a proposed objective, especially with reference to the sequence of and time allotted for each item or operation necessary to its completion: The schedule allows three weeks for this stage.
- a series of things to be done or of events to occur at or during a particular time or period.
- a timetable.
- a written or printed statement of details
Given these definitions, is it really grammatically correct to schedule something to be done immediately / ASAP, and/or in the course of a impromptu spoken conversation?
Or refer to Job/Item X as a scheduled job/item, when it's really just Alice telling Bob 'Do X now'. Or at best 'Do X as soon as you're free' (with the understanding that Bob is going to / needs to be free in a few minutes, half an hour at best)
This is pretty common corporate use, in my experience, and now I'm wondering if this is actually grammatical, or just a example of corporate doublespeak?
