| Grading comment Valeu, pessoal! Robert, I've got the same feeling as you had regarding the word "adoption" in this context, this is why I posted the question. But the translation in pretty much industry-specific and the references leads me to believe that the word, strange as it sounds, is indeed used in the context. The expression in Portuguese is weird as well... :) Thanks a zillion!
