board federal governor reserve




Okay, those nice request management software contractors with whom we spent the last two workdays:

Please stop using "criteria" when you mean "criterion." Please, please, please. You brought my brain to a complete halt several times. Itapos;s confusing, as if you were suddenly barking out, BLERPLE at random every few sentences. I was so busy trying to suss out your meaning, I missed a certain amount of what you said. If you fellows were native Chinese speakers, you might legitimately confuse plural usage, but as native English speakers, you. Have. No. Excuse.

One criterion, two criteria. You cannot have "one criteria," "sort by a certain criteria," neither can you "add a criteria to a view."

Also,

One bacterium, two bacteria;

One aquarium, two aquaria;

One stadium, two stadia.

*sigh*
