Today boss ordered me to write clients' company name in all capital letters, saying it shows that we respect them.

 

Is it true?

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

It sounds like a very odd idea to me.

“Is it true?”

I agree with Clive. You show respect to your client by spelling its name as it (the client) wishes not by applying arbitrary spelling and capitalization.

Nowadays it's a good idea to do what the boss says.

I about had a heart attack when I first read your post, Clive.  I read: it sounds like a very good idea to me.  I need to remember to remove my glasses when I'm in front of the computer.

Prepare a pill for possible heart attack next time when you use computer, just in case you read bad to dad, bag to dag, something like that.
