peristaltorLast night, I heard about a horrible case of English abuse at the corporate headquarters of a large retail clothing outlet.
There the corporate-speakers refer to the points raised and the conclusions reached at various meetings as learnings!
My friend, who has worked there for years, always thought this improper usage a bit grating, but was so used to it she said nothing. She mentioned it only last night because a senior vice-president got a bit perturbed when his auto-spellchecker flagged the word as an egregious error, and cursed his computer!
Most of you people out there have jobs. What other abuses lurk in corporate halls undetected by the outside world?
