My older Gregg's is Fifth Edition from 1951-1977 and says the same thing as BOS-2. Where did you train 10 years ago? Not to be mean, and not picking on you in particular, but I QA'd and mentored a lot of Career Step graduates 10-12 years ago and was not impressed by their English and grammar skills. I spent more time correcting basic 8th-grade English and grammar mistakes than difficult medical terminology with the CS grads. Again, I'm not flaming you, and I do believe that you were probably taught that in your training 10 years ago... I'm just saying that you were taught incorrectly. Not your fault, but the fault of the institution you attended.
