Executive Quiz

When writing a lengthy and important communication of any form, it is sometimes effective to include an Executive Quiz at some strategic point within the document. Your objective is to detect whether your audience has really read your work. This is especially true when the audience includes members of upper management.

An Executive Quiz is a flaw in your text which does not distort the message being conveyed, yet is such that the reader is compelled to mention it to you, the author. That mention is confirmation that your gaudience member has actually read at least the containing portion of the document.

Note the last sentence above. The misspelling of "audience" as "gaudience" has no effect on the message. Most people will not even notice the newly coined word. However, a few, usually Type-A, individuals cannot avoid saying something about it to you. Please don't message me about this, because I already know. Thanks.
