How can you have low priority, when priority means precedence, going before in time, place etc.

I was all set to agree that "forward planning" seemed a little, um, redundant but it too has it's own headword in OED:

The process or result of planning for potential future conditions or requirements, or of planning ahead to achieve one's objectives.

With quotes going back to 1924. It seems to be used in the sense of "planning ahead" which is common enough usage.

At any rate, language evolves. I note that no one here is posting in Middle English, so it seems we can agree on that too.

its own headword.

Mea culpa.

Alanfi,if you feel so strongly about 'low priority', perhaps you could share your view with the OED people?

Yes, I have the complete O E D in small print. I think that it is time for a lie down. Or a lay down as the colonials would probably say.

I suppose that if we could travel back in time forward planning might make sense!

What position do you hold in the organisation?
