A rhetor is just a teacher of writing, right? But I want to pursue this idea of a Rhetor as villain. I think it has legs. So, suppose I start a company whose job is to go into companies and identify and fire all the people who are picky about writing. What would we name such a company?
I have idea, in case somebody else doesn’t think of it.

Ha! "Rhetor". It's fantastic how you assembled those words so that "rhetor" seems so distasteful. I'm going to start using "rhetor" as a username for those throwaway logins I'm always having to create.
