I visited the website of someone who says, 'Our particular focus is words', then goes on to say about their methodology:

'You want the best possible customer-focused, task-driven website? Created over an 11-year period, our Customer Methodology is a road-tested, practical approach to developing a customer-focused website that delivers maximum value. It is broken up into three major sections:
Readers-Tasks-Carewords
Publishing processes
Information architecture

Each section has a series of activities, and each activity has the following elements:
Purpose
Key questions
Tasks
Tools
Deliverables'

Unhappy with my first attempt to submit a report within correct guidelines, an Executive Director sent this gem to my boss with a cc to the CEO - all to put the matter completely beyond doubt, even for an idiot like me.

"I refer to the memo that has been prepared in relation to forward the information to the Department in relation to the reporting of the program. Given that these sort of reports do not go to the CE of DH but go to the nominated Ministers (DH) Contract Manager I was going to re do the memo.

However, on review of the reporting requirements, the information provided does NOT meet the criteria as per the Schedule - therefore this needs to be redone in line with the reporting format of which was forwarded previously. I have reattached again"

I received a quote on AV equipment for a seminar which included:
"please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like to discuss the quantisation." Apparently this is quantum physics talk - she means quantity or specs I think!.
