Literally Me

Imagine that you have a vendor, who comes up to you and tells you that his recommendations are "best practices recommendations" and "international standards recommendations". Would you not want to know according to which "best practices" we are talking about? Which countries? And what standards? By the British certification body or the US certification body?

Is this not the norm to ask?

I never knew that having evidence that recommendations are "best practices" and of "international standards" was me being too literal. WTF, I'm just pre-empting what the clients will ask. And I have to suffer "I'm trying to explain to you, a literal-minded Singaporean". What a bloody insult. I'm not full of hot air and puffy like George, your countryman who bombed another country with no evidence of weapons of mass destruction.

I think fuck is gonna be my favourite word for the next few days...
