It can be argued thatprioritize serves a useful function in providing a single word to mean .arrange according to priority,. but like many other recent formations with-ize, it is widely regarded as corporate or bureaucratic jargon.In an earlier survey,prioritize was unacceptable to the great majority of the Usage Panel.

人們當(dāng)然可以爭(zhēng)論prioritize 在提供一個(gè)單字以表示.按優(yōu)先次序排列.上的有用功能， 但是象許多其他新近形成的以-ize 結(jié)尾的詞一樣， 它被廣泛地認(rèn)為是公司或官僚主義的行話。在較早的一次調(diào)查中發(fā)現(xiàn)，用法專題使用小組中絕大多數(shù)認(rèn)為prioritize 不可接受 參見(jiàn) -ize
