MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH: We've never had a major breakthrough at the Institute for the Linguistically Impaired. We've had our share of breakthroughs, though, such as our development of the Logical Systems Transplant to cure cerebroporosis.
And as to major milestones - how many minor milestones has anyone reached? As with breakthrough, milestone will do nicely, thank you very much.
We at the Institute achieved a breakthrough when we described William F. Buckley Syndrome in the literature.
To call it a major breakthrough or a major milestone makes a thinking person wonder about its true significance. You protest too much. Really. Truly. Honestly. I mean it.
