What does it mean? ;)
You read in a job advert: “Must be deadline oriented.” So what do you think that means?
Probably that you’ll be six months behind schedule on your first day! 😉

A dictionary you can understand
YourDictionary.com calls itself the easiest to use online dictionary and thesaurus, and gives its readers easy-to-understand definitions.
Let’s ask the dictionary what ‘headquarters’ means …
“Headquarters is defined as the main office or central of control.
An example of headquarters is the main office of Coca Cola in Atlanta where the executives and managers are located.”
‘And’ and ‘but’ are acceptable
Today’s writing is more informal than it was years ago. So it’s quite acceptable to start a sentence with ‘and‘ and ‘but‘. If you feel that this might be too informal for the message you are writing, then use ‘in addition’ instead of ‘and’, and ‘however’ instead of ‘but’.
It’s easy when you know how, isn’t it? 😉

Painting with tears
China Daily shows us pictures of an artist who takes paint in through his nose and squirts it out through his eyes onto a canvas. If you decide to try out this technique, I’d love to see the results! 😉
Wow, I didn’t realise that there were other artists who used body fluids in their work. I’ve just found this article in Wikipedia which I wanted to share with you. Okay, I knew that Andy Warhol used urine. But elephant dung, blood and vomit …
No, sorry. I think I’ll stick to watercolour paints and ink!
