Would you think less of him as a professional? Would you use this language in a customer's home? Would you feel it was ok for your own children to adopt this kind of language when communicating at your dinner table? Who should be responsible for uplifting and upholding high standards of conduct and -language - if it isn't the profession itself-you and me. How far should you let it "slip" before it starts to bother you. Why shouldn't this list contribute toward the uplifting of our status as Professionals-or aren't these things of any importance? Just some musings..... Bob Bergantino, RPT Willoughby Hills, Ohio ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
