It's nice when the PR makes it sound as if you are actually intelligent and know waht it is that you are talking about.

I'm outraged that PR professionals would do such a thing. I'm even more outraged that the strikethrough HTML code wasn't working in this post; this comment came very close to being funny.

As a wise English professor once said, "Proof read, proof read, proof read."

Guess someone should have offered that advice to their PR agency...
