Melissa Alton told of getting a card for Secretary's Day and wondered if
she should forget it or voice her opinion (which I took to mean express
her annoyance).
Melissa, I think you should explain very nicely to the person who gave
you the card that you're not a secretary. "Nicely" because I'm assuming
there was no malice or putdown intended, just someone trying to do the
right thing and making a mistake.
