A few days ago I was stuck in a training course and I was speaking with the girl next to me and she was trying to describe the instructor who we had seen earlier at a different location. She said "you remember she was the one wearing the "Coral" dress. "Coral?....what the hell is that?" I responded. She said "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to speak in boy colors. She was wearing the orange dress." Of course, this entire exchange could have been avoided by using "orange" to describe the dress. I mean....coral??? Who describes things in those terms, besides Gap, Banana Republic, and the Home Depot paint department?
It is a confusing world in which we live.
