Poll: "Conservative Business Dress" or "Business Conservative Dress"

LA Guy · Apr 5, 2007

"If anything maybe you one of the moderators could change the title to: Business Conservative Dress instead, if so many here really find it necessary to continue this discussion. That title is much more accurate and less objectionable from my perspective."

I took a walk in the snow, and thought on this issue. As a good Canadian should, I will put this to a referendum.

Please feel free to make your arguments for or against a change in the title of the thread in question ( http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=33066 )

Both poll options are the same.

Copy edit?

Or is this some oblique comment on SF democracy?

Manton · Apr 5, 2007

Yes, mack is right, the choices should reflect the title of this thread.

I can't vote until I have read Kasper's explication of the differences. Once having read and absorbed that, I will take a day or two to make up my mind, then I can vote with a clear conscience.

Edited the poll.

I voted for conservative business dress, but, the more I think about it, BCD is more appropriate. It seems like "conservative" should modify "dress," not "business."

I would vote for small "c" conservative. Another Canadian thing?

Business Conservative Dress seems like broken English to me. Maybe a comma after conservative would solve the dilemma?

We say "business casual dress" (BCD) but "conservative business dress" (conservative business dress) This is how it should be in order to keep the acronyms straight.

This thread and the entire question is indicative of a lot of people with too much time on their hands and their minds numbed from an obsessive concern with petty details.

How about 'How "The Man" Wants to Make Me Dress' (HTMWTMMD)?

Are you saying the the practice of democracy is petty, of no consequence? Perhaps you should stick to posting pictures in the social life section.

Voting on essentially meaningless details, particularly those that go against the natural flow of the language, are a form of democracy that is of no consequence. It distracts one from the real practice of democracy. Actually, I was practicing democracy by pointing out how trivial this thread is.

Kasper has just led you all on a wild goose chase.

You can always vote for what you consider to be the naturally flowing phrasing. Or would you consider the natural flow of language to be a trivial matter?

Also, who is this Kasper of whom you speak? The only Kasper is know of is a troll who was banned from here. Surely, Styleforum security measures would not allow him to re-register in any way, shape or form.

SF security is worse than a sieve, or the Canadian-US border!

Wrong border.
