I once had a manager that whenever we got asked to do something for another department we needed to be a team player. But they never had to help us because it was not their job.
As someone who majored in linguistics, I happen to love semantics. Of course, Marla has a point here, but it’s more of a socio-linguistics issue. 😉
Speaking of semantics, I’m proctoring an examination right now at my school in Beijing. Only we Americans call it proctoring; the Commonwealthers refer to this activity as invigilating. Neither group can beat South Korea, though. Their term for it is 시험감독 (she-heom gam-dok), which is, when literally translated into English, “Test Boss”.
