Not surprinsingly, since I’m only doing 1 of the 14 tips (#1), I have no other tips to offer, sorry.

I plead lack of morning coffee, but it also occurs to me that it would be an interesting exercise in the art of the crash blossom to see how far into the associated article a reader must go before being able to make sense of a carefully misconstructed headline.

I'm sure I have once or twice read an entire (short) article multiple times before deciphering the headline. Unfortunately I didn't take notes. ... See all content Hide content

I had never come across "disprefer" before, and hoped for a definition. Nevertheless, I thought I had a good idea of how it was being used by the end of the article, and example 4 felt wrong. If you choose to replace "prefer journalism to blogs" with a dispreference, I think that "disprefer blogs for journalism" fits better with my intuition.

Very interesting survey. I would view any survey response over 30 as statistically significant, so while I don’t think we can read too much into the 18-24 grouping (3%, or 4 people) and possible also consultants (6%, maybe 8 people), the results for sales people 35-54 are extremely illuminating, and rewarding for us to see I would suggest.

Great post Donal. The front line sales manager has to be THE crucial function for a selling company to sell well. If they don’t work well, you’ve got problems, since they’re key to getting the guys right.

@Mark F, speaking as a non-rhotic BrE speaker, I use the same sounds for the two but I don't think I would naturally place the stress in the same place. I put it on door and Sell. As for aesthetic merits: I can't say that cellar door sounds particularly beautiful, but in support of the general "Romance languages sound beautiful" claim I do love the sound of Horace's ode Fons Bandusiae.

And yes, to believe that people can really think Toyoda and Toyota sound the same I had to say them with an approximation to an American accent. ... See all content Hide content

Re "standards that are college and career ready in reading and math": how do the disjunctions distribute? How many standards is he talking about? And why is the third "R" missing?

PS Jen, not a bad troll, but to get maximum points you have to make fewer posts.
