Another adventure in retail

A woman called my bookstore a while back. She told me she wanted a dictionary.

Me: "Is there a particular publisher or version you're looking for?"

Her: "Yeah, the Colgate."

Me: "Um..."

Her: "No, that's not it. College Gate. Yeah."

Me: "Collegiate?"

Her: "Yeah, that's the one."

Well, at least she was looking for a dictionary. Maybe she can use it to find "the words she needs today." Words such as "collegiate." That's really all I can say about that.
