So , is there any other way of using the word 'entertain' or 'entertained', other than 'singing and/or dancing' as I was made to understand by the an officer in the Office ?
The answer is a big 'YES" ---as in 'being attended to '.
It can also be used in the context such as , 'Late entries will not be entertained !'
Next question, why do I post this topic ? Well a few days ago, the Officer in the Admin Office asked me to correct the above notice in front of her table ! Some of you might have noticed that sign!
. When I told her that notice is perfectly ok , she told me that someone said that the notice means that , now , don't laugh, someone is 'dancing or entertaining.'
But I'm sure some , if not most, of you would know better than that !
Don't ask me who that 'someone' is, because I do not know myself !
But I do seriously hope that that comment was just a tongue-in-cheek remark .....it has to be...I hope !
