I am a graphic designer & marketing consultant. Just a week ago, I had a client ask about abbreviating their name because it "seems to stick." But I gave them a big "NO!" Why? Because no one will ever stumble upon your service by googling LLB or LLBS&C. Just SAY what you DO. It's not just marketing, its branding and common sense. So I join you in shouting "NOMO!" This is hysterical!

What's this guy's problem? It's the language of busines in Ottawa!" ;^) Notwithstanding, a funny editorial nevertheless and some good points too. Maybe if we just spoke English (or French) we'd all understand each other better...

Notwithstanding, a funny editorial nevertheless and some good points too. Maybe if we just spoke English (or French) we’d all understand each other better…

So far, you're the only person to register a response to this one, which is funny, because I've been having heated discussions about this topic all week, and I've heard that the letter to the editor had newspapers "flying off the shelves" in certain government offices. July doldrums perhaps? TFTBCJ (thanks for the brief comment John).
