Example: a messenger accepting the almost of turning down the [[HEAT|heat]]. The order was to turn it [[OFF|off]]. An [[EXECUTIVE|executive]] or [[COMMUNICATOR|communicator]] or messenger who accepts and forwards an almost is [[PERMITTING_DEV-T|permitting dev-t]]. Orders given are to be executed and reported done, not to be nearly done or almost done. A communicator can often be tripped up by this [[FORM|form]] of [[DEV-T|dev-t]]. It is most easily spotted by insisting that the original order or orders be returned with the [[COMPLIANCE|compliance]] so that any [[TERMINAL|terminal]] on the fine can tell at a glance what was ordered, and what was done.
