Help from those english speakers gurus

[Doctor Luz]

Can you help me with a word in english? What is the most appropiate word?

If your company sold something to Mr A. (computers for example) Mr A is your:

a) Client
b) Customer
c) None of them
d) a) and b) are valid

:rolleyes:

[MrViggy]

I believe that if you sell goods (something you can hold in your hand) then the buyer is your "customer".

If you sell services (i.e. consulting), then the buyer is your "client."

But, I could be wrong...

I choose C, You seem to have never spent real time for any real BM class before, I said this because of the question you make and those incorrect multiple choices. You IF clause is just for newb, no teachers ask like you did here...
First of all--------------------->>>>>>>>>>>>>buyers/sellers
When the newb goes alitl deeper: micro and macro esp corp/com shows up, comp and comp, comp and gov relationships mentioned, we ll talk about customers(strategies in ads/marketting/competition etc.) and clients are usu. used mostly in forms/papers/ and are treated as a third person mostly in (buss) conversations, and rarely in 1-1 talks, but actualy, I use them all in my writing tests, mix them all together 'cos my teachers still sure understand it, because if they did not, they mustnot have been leading BM class, right ?

:eek:

I haven't understood nothing, but thank you for your efforts.

We call it "almohadilla" or "almuadilla".

The gramaticaly correct is only the first, but many people use the second.

Literaly it means something like "small cushion"
