It's The Downing Street MINUTES... And Not Memo. Repeat, NOT MEMO! |
|
Please, Karenina started a thread pointing this out and I have tried to point this out.
Please please please stop saying Downing Street MEMO.
Please please please start saying Downing Street MINUTES.
These are official minutes of a meeting held with the Prime Minister of England.
This is NOT a 'memo' that can get Rathered.

The www.downingstreetminutes.com link home page has "The Downing Street Memo" emblazened across the top!???
so confused. But I agree, "minutes" should be used, not "memo".

I fixed the title in my post on the subject. Sorry, and yes, I do understand the importance of the difference.

11. A very critical distinction, indeed. |
|
MEMO: short for memorandum, Merriam-Webster:
1. an informal record; also: a written reminder 2. an informal note of a transaction or proposed instrument 3. an informal diplomatic communication that contains directive, advisory or INFORMATIVE matter
MINUTES: THE OFFICIAL RECORD OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF A MEETING.
