People Who Love P&C

[The article you wrote about me] is great – you made me sound fabulous. You certainly are a great writer and a very entertaining person. And yes, the Krispy Kreme fried truly is delicious, but even better with chocolate sauce or caramel. Thank you again!

We cannot stress this point enough. People who have a larger vocabulary have been shown to make more money and get promoted more often.

Term Definition
quagmire

(pronounced KWAG-mIr or KWAHG-mIr)

Because this word describes soft, wet, spongy earth (like a bog or marsh) that gives way when stepped upon, it’s also used to describe a difficult, unsteady and risky situation – a predicament. The latter definition is most commonly used.

Example: Jennifer feared for the financial sustainability of her firm as the latest developments in the quagmire of the hotel design project that she had been immersed in for almost two years was dragging her company down.
