Ashton, you don't watch cable TV, so you wouldn't ever be watching CNBC. All day, it's the New York Stock Exchange, AMEX, and the NASDAQ ticker tape and talking heads talking to company analysts or corporate management. "Going froward", is a very popular content-free "noise" phrase, or corporate-speak, if you like. It's been here in the US for quite a while.

It might have something to do with entropy, for all I know.
