I think schools stopped teaching it at some point. Legal docs are one of the places that use it as originally intended. And, I guess, older folks.

That kinda makes sense because that is the how it is intended to be used (from a punctuation perspective).

el·lip·sis noun the omission from speech or writing of a word or words that are superfluous or able to be understood from contextual clues.

Why?!?

I would say something like:

Thanks for the ideas, [person’s name]! I have found another way that allows me to get the same to outcome that is quicker for me. To keep things moving efficiently, I recommend that we each use our own techniques. If they clash at any point, we can discuss how to work though that when it comes up. Cool?

Consider the possibility that your way is causing issues somewhere before you have this conversation otherwise you sound really tonedef.

Bridgerton introduced me to the world of romance novels. What a crazy rabbit hole!

Playing ping pong in an office that looks like a spaceship, while chat GPT writes code for you. 😉 Just kidding! I assume it is lots of problem solving and work around to make some feature your leadership put in the roadmap.

Interesting! I wonder if the formulas differ from country to country (I’m in the US). I use ELF, which I think is free from a bunch of that stuff and super cheap. This is a good reminder to always read labels. 🙂

Mascara.

Along with some great guidance on the handling of cream.

Salmon and asparagus.

I saw an economist recently speak and he touched on the topic of oil. Beyond using it for power, it is deeply rooted in everything we do by way of plastic (in your car, on your TV, fast food containers, Barbie boxes, coffee makers, and so on). Practically speaking, giving up oil will take a while, so we should start the process sooner rather than later. Super interesting presentation.

Or Gregorz, which is similar, but maybe easier in Spanish.

Is it possible to do a Spanish spelling of your current name?

Dumb question: did the laws change or was it a change in trends to maximize shareholder returns?

Moose and reindeer.

Google Workspace. I have several clients who insist on using it for unknown reasons. It creates unprofessional looking work products. And in some cases, it is just plain kludgy (slicers randomly shoot themselves over the Sheet, page numbers randomly renumber when the footer is updated, etc). The part that gets me the most is that it is similar in price to other productivity suites, but often our clients opt to buy Zoom and Slack on top of that - basically doubling the price.

I don’t know what that thing is.

I don’t know what that thing is for.

I don’t know what that is.

Any of these work for what you are trying to say?

Back in the 90s when I worked drive thru, we would switch just to mess with the customer. 🤷

Barbie. The details in the background of the movie (side comments, set, clothes etc.) capture the female experience better than anything else I’ve seen.

Don’t know for sure. But my brother in law hosted a friend and his live stock in Lake Stevens (suburbs) when Index, WA was evacuated a couple years ago. It was wild. Anywho, I got the impression it was all self-orchestrated and funded.
