"Make it look purty."

[melstav]

... is officially my new favorite work instruction.

I've had occasion to use it several times in the last couple days while giving coworkers things to do. And in each case, I've pronounced/written/typed it the same way.

The declarative form of that is "I put duckies and bunnies on it."

Actually, that's a real instruction-- we have a system where we're limited to only a few special characters, so to make something stand out, we put angle brackets next to it or multiple quote marks around it.

Angle brackets= duckies.
Quote marks= bunnies.

Why should be obvious.
