Barry,

	My wife has been a marketing secretary for 25+ years. All 
the salesmen, um sales people want to have her type their 
reports, as opposed to other available secretary's. She 
catches the improper word use, like in your example.

	Watching any TV news, local or network is fun with her. She 
is always asking those types of questions.

	With regards to the dumbing down of the language, the real 
question is, How low will we go?

	Good catch, and good luck in getting it fixed.
