or not creativity" can be akin to Russian roulette, depending on the client for whom one works. How should one know (it happened to me lately) that an objective article in a specialised magazine had to become a marketing-like praise of the product described? Was there an absolute need not to use the same word all the way for naming the product -bad tactics IMHO- and to find a synonym for each occurrence of it?

Is it just me or should be clients be clearer as per their requirements?

or maybe the clients themselves does not know very well what they want...
Until they see the text translated. Indeed, a Russian roulette... we have to play with.
