Q (Jan Summers):
A few of my authors are disagreeing on whether to say "detail design" or
"detailed design." Before working at this company, all the authors I worked
with called it a "detailed design."
A. Right. Detailed design. I've seen & heard the phrase many times.
Obviously the double d has got elided in speech. The folks at your
new company must be eating a lot of peanut butter.
