As a writer we run into a number of stupid things and stupid ideas that customwers want, that most people don't ever think about.  I recently did an article for a customer who was adimant about wanting a phrase doen the exact way that they had stated they wanted it done.  Now, you can't blame a customer ofr wanting that.  Let's say his phrase, since this SEO writing, was "stable little control". 
I wrote the item. Wrote it completely as dictated and told to me.  He responded - please make sure it is Stable little Control. 
What did that mean?  What was the customer tryin to say?  My paycheck hung in the balance of deciphering this cryptic message.  I read the entire piece, said exactly what he wanted. Sudenly, i realized that "attention to detail" part of my resume and that phrase we all put in our resume....almost became a lie. 
There it was, in my face....those two stupid capital letter.  The "S" and the "C".  That was the problem.  Biut this si a small example of what we have to do.  We have to look for the not so obvious, to write the obvious for customers who live and breathe what they want - yet we only see it for a mere few seconds when we write it up.
Thank-you to all of mine and all of your customers.  Thank-you to customer me, and to customer you!!!
