Ok - but that's so not fair considering that (I think) bon bon is the only one of youse that is actually WORKING AS A LAWYER.
Only if you limit it to private practice.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Thanks! I think I have a better understanding now. I may be using the phrase in the wrong sense then. I'm talking about something that reflects the entirety of the site and is updated as changes are made or on schedule.
Someone asked for a copy of it, and wanted to know why it had to be pasted from several files into one "document"

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
You're not using anything wrong! -- it's just one of those terms that means a bunch of things that sometimes contradict each other. Your particular use sounds like what I'd normally call a site index, which makes me think the terminology might be specific to either your system or your site -- but that still doesn't mean it's wrong.

and also because "what is a document" is the kind of thing I can go on for way too long about in a most un-fun way until I start to say "will nobody think of the bitches!?" at my own self.
Amych is me.

The biggest challenge for technical publishers, etc is in communicating with the non-techies using language that makes sense to both. I am constantly trying to figure out ways to describe folder stuctures (that comprise one "report") and their relation to xml to colleagues who are used to "reports" being in Accupress binders with indices and tabs.
Valium and Absolut gimlets help with the resulting headache.

And in this case it's a non-techie translating too.
Will email you in a sec, amych.

You're techie enough to know how to grab the information you need for your document from several folders. :)

I wouldn't have known if the techies hadn't told me.

And that she was secretly married to her husband for a year while they both worked at the firm.
OK, this sounds like a story! Why secretly? Were lawyers not allowed to get married to each other? Was he her supervisor? What was going on???

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Am now earwormed with "Lawyers in Love"....

I'm at the surgeon's. She says that she thinks amputation is his only chance. She claims cats with hind leg amputations recover well, even older cats. I can't believe I have to make this decision. She's out calling my vets right now.
