[ Prepare ]

I was reading a CV recently, and something I read caused me to dig out one of mine from about 15 years ago. 

Yep, there it was in mine too.  One of my claimed tasks (accomplishments?) was:  “Prepare project documents”. 

Reading it now in my CV, and in this other one, made me wonder what that actually means.  It’s odd that we don’t claim to “write” documents.  No, we “prepare” them.

It almost makes it arm’s length from the writing.  It’s a step removed: I’ve prepared it, but it’s not clear if I’ve actually put the words together (written it).
