It's time for another rant.  There are certain (many) things that drive me up a wall.  One of them is when my fellow real estate agents (Realtors® as well as just run-of-the-mill licensees) don't take the trouble to learn terms crucial to their profession. 

One of these is:  Palladian.  You know, those half-circle windows used to enhance or finish off tall windows in two-story rooms, especially.  Palladian refers to the work of Andrea Palladio, a sixteenth-century Venetian architect who revived the classical style of architecture.  (I won't get into the point that a true palladian window is not just the half-circle window, the rectangular windows below it.)

Those windows are not made of the precious, platinum-related metal known as palladium. Palladium windows are MUCH more expensive than the best palladian windows, wouldn't you agree?  Does it seem reasonable to expect professional real estate agents, especially Realtors® to know the difference?  I believe so. 

So, if you're an agent reading this, PAY ATTENTION.  ;-)
