Tools of Trade
I often find myself checking the
spelling of words (breadcrumbs,
for instance) and expect the
internet to pass a verdict - is it
one word or does it come in two?
Each time, I wonder why I feel
this urge to demonstrate command
of supposedly correct conventions;
is it respect for the customer or
do I merely try to credit myself?
Is it necessary to show that I
meet standards so language can
simply have a good time, or is it
to convince that I can be trusted
doing poetic business with?
