How to get a bigger raise

Article Abstract:

The average American worker will get about a 4.2% raise in 1999. Employees can increase their chances of getting more of a raise by implementing certain strategies. Keeping a journal of accomplishments, requesting a raise in the form of a proposal, and monthly self-appraisals are some ways to get bigger raises. Employees should be prepared to go job-hunting in case their strategies do not work.

Through the wronger

Article Abstract:

The word 'wronger' is not used as a comparative of the word 'wrong,' even if the former is seemingly a stronger comparative than 'more wrong.' The word 'dysfunctional,' comes from the roots 'dys' and 'functional' which collectively means 'unable to work properly.' Chinese personal names are also discussed.
