Here's a weird one I just (finally) made official... It's something I've always done... and something I know Sue's always done... but not everyone on the PSICAN team does... and that's not use the word "client" to describe the people who contact us.

It's a little thing... a stupid thing in some ways... but the connotation with the word "client" is someone who has paid for a service... effectively, lawyers have clients... as do agents, designers, sales people...

...but we don't charge for out efforts.

...so... "client"? That word just never seemed to fit.

So, the "list" I've given our crew to use from now on is...

• Witness
• Experiencer
• Experient
• Home Owner
• Business Owner
• Tenant
• Person/People Who Reported...

...but "client" is right out!

Sure, it's only an optics thing... but it's one of the little issues that... well... it niggles me and a few other folks on our team.

So, sorry, we no longer have clients... granted, some of us on this team never did... which will be fun, because ten'll get your twenty that as with every other year, someone from the media in October will e-mail us to ask us to interview one of our "clients"... and now, without reservation or explanation, I can say, "Sorry, we don't got none!"
