OK, it's not "who you work for" it's "WHOM you work for". Pet peeve of mine, people saying "who" when they mean "whom" - if the "who" is the object of the action "work for" then it is "whom", like "To whom are you speaking?" NOT "Who are you speaking to?" Irks me no end.

As usual, Seth has an incredible grasp of the obvious.

The way so many people blindly adhere to him is unbelievable. He's like the Joseph McCarthy or Emperor's New Clothes of marketing.

I've found his posts have been getting better. This one in particular qualifies as the elusive obvious.

Some are gold (the one about his breakfast for instance), but the vast majority are trash.
