There is no limit as to the type of report you can create, with more to come.

Gotta love a marketing line like this.

When I worked for AT&T there was a sign in the meeting room "Quality if never an accident, it is always the result of intellegent effort", big, well printed sign, and no one noticed, even after I crossed out "if" and wrote in "is".

Just saw this one from Dell:

Aren't these things counter-productive like those motivational mottoes that come over as being patronising ?
 

What about "All you can eat"

AFAIK, "All you can eat" isn't a rip-off, as it is advertising exactly what you get - all you can eat - usually for a set amount.

I've never been into an "all you can eat" place that has restrictions on the amount you can eat... Although they do restrict you to eating in only, normally.

In that case, take a good book with you, starting very early, and feast all day.
 
All I can eat" would seem to imply that I could return on another day and eat again at no additional charge. Perhaps, "all you can eat in one sitting" or "within two hours" would be more accurate.

I actually have at times taken a book somewhere and read and eaten for several hours. Mostly I was getting in on the soda refills rather than the food, but no one tossed me out either way.

All-you-can-eat places usually do say that you can't take any food home. [smile]

It is better to have honor than a good reputation.
(Reputation is what other people think about you. Honor is what you know about yourself.)
 
I'd prefer "All you care to eat". Many Americans seem to take "All you can eat" too seriously and they gorge themselves.
