Okay, so I work on "decks" all the time and have never braved asking my boss this question. Thank you for the clarification. It so makes sense now... I guess. LOL!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of it until you mention it just now.
ReplyDeleteI've always called them Powerpoint presentations until recently when I kept hearing "can you send that deck over?" Weird. Glad some people knew the why of it.
