"The dominant materials used for commercial sinks are virtuous china, solid surface, and natural quartz."
An example of vitreous humor?

Eye, eye, Cap'n Sheldon. (a pun for those who remember their anatomy)

The writer must mean china with no vices. :-)

I know times can be tough, but dying for work should not be a cost of doing business.

But sometimes justified.

I had a problem with the "natural quartz" too. In context, it apparently means what we call quartz surfacing material, e.g., Cambria, Silestone, Zodiaq, etc. Not what I would call natural quartz.

MasterSpec calls this "agglomerated quartz," I believe.

Many years ago one of the CAD drafters misspelled "hospital" to "horspital" on the drawing title block. Our hospital projects then became affectionately known as "horse pistol" or "horse spittle".

Come to think of it, on that very hospital project there were lots of "door james" noted on the drawings.

Sounds like a lot of horse manure (not a typo).

David, are you having a slow day?

Or are just trying to annoy us hard working overwhelmed with the Thanksgiving Day Rush Specifiers?

Hey David, my apologies for my post, I've had an extremely stressful day, I wish I could say tomorrow will be better, probably not.

No offense taken Jerome. It seems that my clients are waiting until right before Christmas to overload me with work (even though I have been warning them for weeks to get me information ASAP.)
