it is semanitics. I think we are all thinking of the same thing here
but sometimes the way we all use the English language makes it difficult
to see the same vision.
I often find myself about to use a phrase that just doesn't work for
speakers of English as a foriegn language (such as Ben's Grafter, which
makes perfect sense to another Brit) and sometimes the subtulties we see
is a word are totally at odds.
Leader also brings to mind pictures of Hitler and other such images to
my mind so perhaps that's also a British thing. Although it could be
that I have spent most of the last 10 years as a contractor and hate
having a *real* boss ;-)
