P5,

You are absolutely right about Dan not being here. I apologize to Dan, Ben, you, and the others. I guess it shows how full of s*** I can be sometimes. <grin>

Modifications to my previous post now protect the innocent and make some sense out of this guilty party's earlier post.

To add to the list of redundant duplication, I deal with Document and Records Management systems a lot, usually referred to with the acronyms EDMS and ERMS and I very often see people talking about an EDMS System. Surely just an EDM System?

I'm just about to be made redundant for the second time by the same company. Is this on topic?

Santa's story reminds me of an experience I had at work once...

I was working on a contract (in the UK) alongside a German consultant. Her English was excellent, but she had a thick German/English dictionary on hand for any words she didn't know.

One day, after a particularly frustrating meeting, a colleague stumped into the office saying "B*gger, b*gger, b*gger, b*ugger, b*gger! There's just one word for it, and that word is B*GGER!"

Needless to say, that had our consultant reaching for her dictionary to find the meaning of this useful business term - much to the embarrassment of all. God knows what she thought went on at the meeting when she found out what it meant.

Should "We don't need no education!" be understood as "We need some education!" or "We need an education!", or simply "We need education!"?

Which brings me to the story of a teacher explaining the misuse of double negatives to a group of students. One student asked if the principle worked the other way around, and the teacher said that in no way could "two positives make a negative" - to which an audible mumbling from the back of the classroom was clearly heard to say "Yeah, yeah."

... or "Yeah, right."

Have fun.
