Maybe for people with English as a first language. It would probably read better as jobs/tasks/Units of Work. But, 'unit' is an over-used term in IBM-Speak. Rather than dunning somebody for 'being confused', we should be dunning the author for incomplete staff work. Remember, the purpose of clear communication is not to ensure you're understood. Rather, it's to ensure you're not mis-understood. Whenever I communicate something and the listener/reader claims mis-understanding, I don't condemn them. I attempt to clarify -- and, I KNOW I don't always succeed. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
