    I worked with a contractor once who was a complete chancer. Turned up to meetings with no means of taking notes or recording actions; they soon got found out he could not do the role, to be fair to him, he did manage 3 months of blagging it! Even if you're a bit tired the client has seen something they did not like and you have been binned. Chalk it off to experience and move on.

      It was a metonymic shortcut to save typing out the word 'inducing.' Any normal person would know what was meant and therefore it shouldn't have been necessary.

      Because of you I have to type out this entire answer instead. Thanks. You just wasted bandwidth and forced me to waste more. You are a bad person and should feel bad.

        Really it is because of you, not because of simes. You should be angry with yourself.

          Who said I was angry? But you are right, it is my fault for expecting people on the Internet to understand metonymy.

            Don't beat yourself up too much.
