So, yesterday I sent a material certification to a customer. Basically, a cert tells them that you did what they wanted to the material. Around 4pm yesterday, the customer called with a group of their stuffed shirts on conference call. They were concerned about a portion of the cert that said:
"etc..."
That's right. They were worried about the letters "etc". They wanted to know what etc stood for or what it's metallurgical meaning was.
I couldn't wait. I interupted "et cetera". The phone call went silent.
It was then that they realized that not everything is all that complicated in life.
