And you know, that's the kicker. The higher up you go, the less info
they're concerned about. So while we can sit here and argue about
grammar, buzzwords and jargon, all that doesn't mean a thing to people
far up the "food chain" in a company. There's a reason why "executive
summary" is named as such. It has nothing to do with intelligence, but
everything to do with level of understanding.
