The Boss:              Where’s Miss Simpson, Bob? I want her.

Bob:                      Do you want to speak to her, sir?

The Boss:              Yes, I do. I want her to come to my office. Tell her to come at once.

Miss Simpson:              Did you want to see me, sir?

The Boss:              Ah, yes, Miss Simpson. How do you spell “ intelligent”? Can you tell me?

Miss Simpson:        I-N-T-E-L-L-I-G-E-N-T.

The Boss:             That’s right. You’ve typed it with only one “L”.

This letter’s full of mistakes. I want you to type it again.

Miss Simpson:        Yes, I’ll do that. I’m sorry about that.

The Boss:              And here’s a little present for you.

Miss Simpson:        What is it?

The Boss:              It’s a dictionary. I hope it will help you.
