calibration

1. The proccess of data acquisition (obtained by comparison against standards) able to anticipate the behavior of someting.
2. The data so obtained.
3. The final report or documentation showing such data.
4. The stage in which someting is regarding the level of its calibration knoledge.

Adjustment is not calibration. When we adjust something we change its behavior (usually to move it closer to standards aiming a better performance); when we calibrate we just understand its behavior so that we can compensate or even adjust it.

Calibri-ing

When using a newer version of Microsoft Word, your font randomly changes back to the default Calibri style. This is often a minor annoyance when writing papers that require the Times New Roman font style, and many people wish Times was still the preset font for Word.

John: "There we go, almost done... Now to write my conc... What the fuck!? Why are you Calibri-ing Word?! Now I have to change this stupid shit!"

Mike: "Dude, it's the default font, just accept it!"

John: "NEVER!!!"
