(Business people) speaking a language familiar and dear to them.

We should tolerate them - every person of spirit wants to ride a white horse. -William Strunk Jr. (The Elements of Style)

Is that a page-feed scanner? Anyone that hands me a sheet of paper had better realize it's going to sit on my desk until the end of the day, and then get dumped in the recycling.

When I worked on the accounting system at my last job they had scanners just to scan invoices. They were scary fast.

I got myself a Brother scanner to digitise my paperwork. Double-sided color scans converted to PDF in just over one second per sheet. Impressive!
