sticky notes Explanation: Sticky note is "a slip of notepaper having an adhesive strip on the back that allows attachment to and removal from a surface". http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sticky note Usually they are yellow colour notepaper (^Post-it', for instance). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2013-01-22 20:17:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A definitive answer to your question of the day can be provided only by the firm or person who wrote the source text. However, the fact that 'gule sedler' is used in the source text prompts me to assume that this term is part of the firm's vocabulary. |

work order Explanation: This is an easy one. The term is literally yellow, which is why the organization uses the term gule sedler, but the content is a work order, and how the work should be carried out. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2013-01-22 22:10:51 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think it is because the paper is printed on is yellow, and when I was working as a blue collared guy breaking my back, communication between I and my manager and or foreman did not include complicated, precise words that can be found in text books. The text is worded so it can be understood by everyone, independent of their education. |
