  • O think I’ve met these site managers.

    For a work fit out we were going paperloss office, new company 7 years ago. They kept on wanting to know where the multi function cnwtre printer would be. They were designing cabinetry, electrics and Ethernet around it. When we kept insisting we would not have one, they eventually relented and only planned for it to be in the occasional office/store cupboard beside comma.

    7 years later and the cabling and power points are still there unused as expected but they couldn’t get their heads around it. I mean, if we changed our minds we could have gone WiFi. It was so frustrating.



  • Also, a grammar lesson for you too! When you dont put ‘an’ between quotation marks, your sentence doesn’t read well either. Next debate should be which quotation marks to use, but that varies by country.

    However, your post enlightened me to my mispronunciation of Ubisoft, despite knowing they were French. I’m not sure that I’ll change though. I don’t thibknthe French would anglicise a word with widespread French pronunciation to appease non-French speakers, so I’m sure they are (ironically not) fine with it.

    I also agree with you, that in English, most people pronounce it as Yubi, so “a” would have been appropriate and 'an" reads poorly.



  • My first date with my husband, we went for dinner. I’m not going to want a broccoli themed ring. This is just odd. If she was a big iron man fan, perhaps it would work but just seeing a movie once isn’t that. This speaks not just to bad choices but a lack of maturity and understanding each other. Probably good she said no.
