Regulatory Updates: Fine-Printing 101 - Appendix

Here is a list of frequently asked questions, answers, and disclaimers:

Q: What is fine-printing?

Fine-printing is the art of writing legalese in a way that is so dense and impenetrable, it's like trying to drink a gallon of water through a coffee straw.

A: What are some common fine-printing terms?

Here are a few of our favorites:

• Exigent: (adj.) requiring or demanding something in an imperious manner
• Perfidious: (adj.) disloyal or treacherous
• Plenipotentiary: (n.) a person who has the power to make decisions for others

Q: Can I use these terms in everyday conversation?

We wouldn't recommend it. In fact, we'd advise against it. Like, at all.
