Little did you know that when you became a writer or an editor, you would be in charge of helping your client figure out his or her job. Frumpie is having a rather amusing time of it with one client in particular right now. This dear soul works for a major corporation, yet when Frumpie asked for specifics on the company’s sales, the poor dear didn’t quite know what to say. So instead of asking within, where surely she’d be embarrassed and perhaps promoted (those who can’t do shall teach, as they say), she came back to Frumpie. “What exactly is (industrywide term)?” and the most laughter-inducing question: “Do we have that kind of product?”
Poor dearie. I do not believe she’s trying to get Frumpie to look it up. I do believe the poor child really does not know what it is her company is doing. Nor, it would appear, does she know what she’s doing.

I dare not tell the bosses to learn how to spell and format the names of our magazines. They have only been running the business for over ten years.
Thank you, Find & Replace (and Bach Rescue Remedy).
