Chad,
It's not a direct result of anything that happened with our vendors. Just a
dislike for the word "sheet" on my part because the documents can be viewed
electronically rather than just printed (there are no sheets to my screen).
How it might be mistranslated was just another excuse for not using that
word. Sneaky, ain't I?
I agree with you on the use of "sheet" to some degree. But you *can* have
electronic sheets as long as they are clearly defined and seperated (for
instance, MS Excel). But I think that may be rarer than the use of "sheet"
on a less clearly defined and seperated format.
