Re: A guardon?!
Should the last paragraph not have read "... please let the guardon know."
Reminds me of the way so many local SA restaurants call their waiters and waitresses by the manufactured, androgynous word "waitrons". "If you require any special assistance please advise your waitron." It's my waitron? I thought you employed him, her or it, Mr. Restauranteur. And, should all assistance in a restaurant not be special? Still waiting for the instruction, "In the event of any problems please ask to speak to our manageron." That cannot be too far away given the rate at which the English language is being mauled.
