Susan Hogarth wonders: <<If someone says '7 days' ina business document, but does not *specify* business days or calendar days, do you assume calendar days?>>

I never assume anything. Ask "someone" what they mean, and ideally get it in writing. Guessing wrong could prove very expensive, so why take the risk? And in your own documents, don't make the same mistake: nail down the meaning so tight even a lawyer can't misunderstand you.
