My mind is mush. Which would be more correct:
"Provided services to" or "provided services for" a company.
I say "to" but some voice inside me says "for."
Prepositional hell
My grammar law
Let's say you are installing cable TV. You work for Cox Cable but you are installing it at IBM. So you provided services to IBM for Cox Cable. Does that help? So if you provide services "to" a company you are servicing the company itself. If you provide services "for" then you imply you are an independent contractor working for the company in some capacity.
Yeah
You're right. So was Daisy. In that instance the correct preposition was "for."
It's all meaningless anyway, it's not as if I ever get jobs I apply for, so worrying about whether I was 100 percent grammatically correct in a cover letter full of falsities is like wondering whether your hair looks good when you're sitting there with a severed carotid artery.
Oh, and Kevin, it's not shocking to me that you do not care about this. After all, I know your history with basic definitions. And, even when you are wrong to the point that my eyes bleed reading your nonsense bumbling, you still maintain your correctness. Because of this, you will never get any EMPATHY from me.
