I am in the middle of a lot of technical reading having to do
with Microsoft.  I am finding some of the phraseology at little
jarring.  Are the following constructs wrong?

... persist an object to disk....

... architect a system ...

There are other examples but these I have to hand.  If these
are indeed poor grammar then why (from a linguistic view) is
that so?

Regards,
Jim
