Today, I sat and watched the CEO of DreamWorks on TV misuse words such as "quantum". He's filthy rich, whereas I'm a savagely underpaid gardener. FML

Sadly, most of the CEOs in this world just have the grunts do the real work. They're intellectually equivalent to a potato.

SAVAGELY underpaid??? Not the adjective I would have chosen.

When complaining about others using the language incorrectly, one should ensure that they themselves are using it properly.

So, according to you, one needs to know how to use words correctly in order to be a CEO?

Considering you just used the word "savagely" to describe the way your are paid, I think you belong just where you are.

46- it may not be common outside of the Southern Hemisphere, but "savagely underpaid", "savagely underrated" etc. are acceptable and commonly used vernacular in Aus and NZ. Similarly, I have heard Canadians use "brutally" underpaid or overpaid

Well obviously knowing the use of quantum is irrelevant to CEO qualifications. The CEO of Dreamworks founded his company and therefore has every right to his net worth, thus rendering your condescending judgment invalid. He was not hired to this position, he built it. Maybe you should stop being petty and worrying about other people's vocabulary to bank account ratio and go build something yourself.

CEOs are paid based on how well they can bullshit

Some of us can't get a paying job at all for very personal reasons. Yes, by "some of us" I mean me. :(

Most of us grunts have moments like that. Mine was in middle school when I delivered papers explaining that the US was sending "battleships" to the Persian Gulf. They made a lot more money then me, but didn't know something as simple as the difference between a battleship and a warship.
