typo Explanation: the normal expression is "in the broadest sense of the word" and I'm sure that this is what is intended here - it isn't an attempt at humorous variation. In other words, they are putting the broadest possible interpretation on "quotation, transactions..." - it applies to all their paperwork and everything they do. |
