"The Department of State and Coursera are aligned in our goals and we are working tirelessly to ensure that blockage is not permanent."

Tirelessly: indefatigably: with indefatigable energy; "she watched the show indefatigably" http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=tirelessly Two thoughts:

1) Does anyone really think that the word "tirelessly" can honestly be applied to any work done by the state department?

2) Tirelessly is one of those weasly pr words that I am promising never to use again. Usually when a business says they are "working tirelessly," it turns out that the real meaning is "We want you to feel like we're working towards a solution, but this is pretty much out of our control."
