[quote=Anonymous]"I'm a lawyer who does some government relations work. I use it with certain people in a conversation or an informal email, but not in a letter or legal memo. It's called colloquialism. And when you use it I think less of you, so it be hooves you to not do that. +1. It really does make you sound like a dimwit. There is a suitable word: request. Why do you need to turn a verb into a noun?" Really, I'm a "dimwit" to use the same term as others with whom I'm working (lobbyists, PR specialists)? Well, I guess that is better than being seen as an uptight, asshole lawyer, which is how you two would be perceived. I have a reputation as someone who is both good to work with and who does high quality work, the former because I'm flexible enough to speak the same language as others around me. [/quote]
