Random nonsense about grammar and other šŸ’©

getting back to Manufacturing concepts for a moment… In Epicor we call production orders ā€œJobsā€ā€¦ but in some systems they are called ā€œWork Ordersā€ā€¦ but in the UK they call them ā€œWorks Ordersā€ (with an S at the end of ā€œworkā€ā€¦
OK… I had to ask… when worksing with a customer in the UK, why they kept saying ā€œworks orderā€ they said:
ā€œWell… The factory is also called the ā€˜Works’… as in a set of machines or sites… ā€˜The Works’… so, a Works Order is an order for the Works.ā€

Language will get you sometimes.
